Chapter 463 Kill him with one shot!
Chapter 463: Knock him down with one shot!
Even Haninga once wanted to take a ladder. Even if the Tartars were taking a ladder, they could go up the two-meter-high city wall. However, Haninga gave up this tempting idea. The reason was not that the Tartars did not dare, but that he was afraid that the Korean servants would have nothing to do and hid behind and were lazy. If they wanted them to carry the wooden ladder up, they could not be lazy.
After the dispatch and the order was conveyed, the Tartars, the vassals and the rebels all took action one after another. A large number of rebels detoured towards the other three gates of Huang County. Due to the large number of rebels, the scene seemed very spectacular. The Tartars and the vassals in front continued to surge forward, trying to approach the walls of Huang County as soon as possible.
"The Tartars are here!"
"The Tartars are here!"
"The Tartars are here!"
On the city wall of Huang County, news was spreading quietly.
Unlike the situation where hearing the Tartars came, which caused panic in other places, the soldiers of the Tiger Army were shocked when they heard the Tartars came, and they paid great attention to the wilderness in front of them. After waiting for a long time, the main master finally came! To be honest, the Tiger Army now has no interest in fighting the Ming army. It is better to fight the Tartars!
Almost all the officers of the Hu Ben Army came quietly to the East Gate. Everyone should see for themselves what the large Tartars troops looked like. It was the first time that the Hu Ben Army had formally contacted the large Tartars! In the past, the Tartars on Tianheng Island could only be said to be non-mainstream among the Tartars.
However, after looking carefully, everyone felt that the large Tartars' troops seemed to be nothing extraordinary. They also had two hands, two legs, and one head. I can't understand why the Ming army was so afraid of the Tartars? Are the Tartars really that scary?
"superior!"
Haninga shouted fiercely.
All the Tartars immediately pressed towards the east gate. Their running speed was very fast, as if the armor on their bodies did not hinder their movement at all. All the Tartars knew that the Ming army relied on had two weaknesses. The first was the short range and the second was the slow rate of fire. The best way to deal with the muskets was to run fast so that the other party could not aim. The other was to fight with the other party in close combat, so that the other party had no chance to launch. The Tartars especially liked the second one. As long as they had the opportunity to be close to the Ming army, one Tartar could deal with more than a dozen Ming troops.
Behind the Tartars were servants carrying cloud ladders. With the Tartars pressing the formation, these servants did not dare to neglect them. They carried dozens of wooden ladders and followed closely behind the Tartars. According to previous experience, as long as the Tartars in front suppressed the defenders at the city wall with arrows, they would have to set up the wooden ladders, and then let the Tartars climb up the wooden ladders and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defenders. What they had to do was such an auxiliary work. As for fighting with the enemy, it was basically not their turn. This is also the fundamental reason why the Korean Servant Army was very active in every battle, and they were responsible for taking action.
The Tartars were actually very experienced in siege. The Tartars were not only good at field battles, but also accumulated rich experience in siege. They could not break through the castles on the Ningjin front line, but many towns inside and outside the Great Wall were captured. Especially after the Tartars invaded twice, they accumulated rich experience in siege. It seemed that towns like Zunhua, Miyun, Huairou, Yongning, and Changping were all broken by the Tartars.
The only weapon of the Tatars who were raiding from a long distance was a wooden ladder. They climbed up to the city head with the wooden ladder and then fought with the defenders. This is the most basic model for the Tatars to siege the city and the oldest method of siege since ancient times. During the two invasions, the Tatars used this method of siege to win. Therefore, they believed in such a method of siege.
Most of the Tartars were covered with strong iron armor to defend against the Ming army's musket shooting. As long as they carried two Ming army's musket shootings, they could fight directly with the Ming army face to face. Therefore, in addition to carrying bows and arrows, most of the Tartars also carried a sharp scimitar. Once they climbed to the top of the city, this scimitar was their weapon for fighting.
"Dayinbu!"
"You're the first to go!"
Haninga shouted to the big man beside him.
"Roar!"
Dayinbu answered loudly.
He is a very tall white-armored soldier with thick hands and feet, and powerful limbs and martial arts. The silver-white armor on his body is very exquisitely created. Because the Tartars generally lack excellent armor, such exquisite armor is basically the most brave warrior, so they are qualified to obtain. In fact, under Haninga's command, this Dayinbu is indeed the number one warrior. Among these three Niulu, no one is Dayinbu's opponent.
Every time he fought, Dayinbu was a vanguard, shooting archers from a distance and slashing at close range, which made countless enemy troops frightened. When the Tatars besieged Zunhua in the second year of Chongzhen, it was Dayinbu who was the first to climb up the city wall of Zunhua and killed five Ming troops in one breath, opening a bloody road. The Tatars behind him swarmed up and occupied Zunhua. In the end, Zhao Shujiao, the general of the Shanhaiguan of Daming, was killed in Zunhua. After conquering Zunhua, the Tatars advanced to the front and besieged the capital, which shocked the world.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Tartars invaded again and attacked Bao'anzhou. It was Dayinbu again, who was the first to climb to the city and open a bloody road. In the end, Bao'anzhou was taken down by the Tartars, and all his wealth and population were plundered. Even Dayinbu could climb up smoothly in Zunhua and Bao'anzhou, and this small Huang County was not in his eyes.
The bent bow used by Dayinbu is carefully made and has a very strong force. Its range is more than 30% higher than the ox-horned bow used by ordinary Tartars. Of course, the strength of the bow is much stronger than that of the ordinary ox-horned bow. Relying on the strong crossbow arrows, he hits wherever he points within a distance of 150 steps, and the arrows are shot without any effort. When siege, he stood under the city and could shoot arrows continuously and shoot the defenders at the top of the city. When attacking Zunhua, he shot seven arrows in a row and killed seven Ming army officers, which greatly shocked the morale of the Ming army.
In fact, it was not necessary for Haninga's instructions, Dayinbu was already at the forefront. Every time he fought, he had to climb the city first, which almost became his habit. Because, every time the warrior who entered the city first could receive extremely generous rewards. Whether it was money, women, or status, it had risen greatly. Dayinbu liked money, women, and status, and he could not let go of a small county like Huangxian.
During the running process, the bent bow in Dayinbu's hand was half-opened, and the thick arrow was pressed on the bowstring made of beef tendon. It was about three hundred steps away from the city wall. He had to continue running for a while before he could enter the range of the bow.
"Meng Xia, you are responsible for the white-armored soldier."
Dugu Lieh hugged, came to Meng Xia's side, and whispered.
Before the battle began, Dugu Lie quickly arranged the main shooting targets of the sniper team. The tasks Zhang Zhun gave to the sniper team will always be the main backbone of sniping the enemy. For the Tartars, they are their white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers. Among them, white-armored soldiers are the best choice.
Dugu Lie has the best shooting skills and better eyesight. He could tell at a glance that in the Tartars team, there was a white-armored soldier who threatened the most. This white-armored soldier ran very fast and was very big. The bent bows and arrows on his hands were different from ordinary Tartars. Obviously, this guy is a dangerous person. Since he is a dangerous person, of course he must be killed first.
However, Dugu Lie is not prepared to eat alone. Now he is no longer a sniper role, but also a role that combines instructors and commanders. What he is responsible for is no longer how to snipe the enemy alone, but how to exert the potential of each sniper as much as possible and improve the combat effectiveness of the sniper team as overall.
After the expansion, many newcomers came to the sniper team. Meng Xia was one of them. Their shooting skills were good and they had the potential to become an excellent sniper. However, as an excellent sniper, just being a good shooting skills was not enough. To mature, snipers had to go through all kinds of tests, especially the tests of actual combat.
The most important thing is that an excellent sniper must have confidence in himself. To do this, of course, you must have excellent military achievements. The more powerful the military achievements, the stronger the self-confidence. In layman's terms, the more goals you kill, the more confident you are in yourself.
"Is the one with three white feathers on her head?"
Meng Xia asked in a low voice.
He fled from Qingzhou Prefecture and joined the Hu Ben Army for less than half a year. Due to his excellent shooting talent, he was targeted by Dugu Lie during his three-month training and then dug up a sniper team. After many tests, Meng Xia's shooting level was undoubtedly excellent. However, Meng Xia had never experienced any actual combat, and had never had contact with the Tartars. He had no military achievements, so naturally he could not have much confidence. Therefore, Dugu Lie needed to designate him a valuable goal to cultivate Meng Xia's confidence.
"Yes! It's him!"
"It's the Tartar with three feathers on his head!"
"Your mission is to knock him down with one shot at a distance of forty feet!"
Dugu Lie said affirmatively.
"good!"
"I'll get him!"
Meng Xia said confidently.
Dugu Lie nodded and continued to order the next target.
Meng Xia slowly adjusted the muzzle of the Hu Ben Gun and the gap in the sight, and firmly locked Dayinbu. In fact, even without Dugu Lie's instructions, he noticed this Tartar. Who told him that the three white feathers on his helmet were really impressive!
Dayinbu did not realize what kind of bad luck the three white feathers on his helmet would bring to him. He always believed that the three white feathers brought him endless good luck. In fact, were these three white feathers pure carved hair or white carved hair given to him by a Mongolian noble.
Huang Taiji paid great attention to winning over the relationship between the Mongols and Manchus. In addition to constant marriage, he also often organized cultural and sports exchanges between the two sides. In terms of military, the Eight Mongolian Banners and the Eight Manchu Banners competed from time to time to select the best warriors and then rewarded them. Over time, the warriors and royal families on both sides had the tradition of giving gifts to each other.
Due to Dayinbu's outstanding performance, a Mongolian nobleman gave him three white carved hairs. In the eyes of the Mongolians, white carved hairs are the most precious and auspicious. Wearing white carved hairs means that luck is always with you. Dayinbu has always been proud of this, inserting three white carved hairs on his helmet and showing off everywhere. Even if he goes to the battlefield, he is no exception.
Three hundred steps...
Two hundred and fifty steps...
Two hundred steps...
The distance is getting closer and closer.
The bow string on Dayinbu's hand also began to open. Because the bow string made of beef tendon is very thick and pressured, even with a thick ring, Dayinbu can still feel the heavy pressure of the bow string. The bent bow he used is indeed powerful, and one arrow can penetrate the human body. However, his bow also has a fatal weakness, which is that it cannot last. Because it consumes too much power, after shooting about ten arrows, it will be necessary to slash.
"One hundred and fifty steps..."
Dayinbu calculated silently.
At this time, in his eyes, there were only Huangxian in front and the defenders on the head of Huangxian. Everything around seemed to have nothing to do with him. All the colors, sounds, and movements in the world completely disappeared in his eyes. The companions around him did not exist at all, as if he was the only one who was moving towards Huangxian.
He was looking for every target on the city, the most valuable target. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it for the time being. Everyone in the Huangxian defenders were wearing gray uniforms, no armor, helmets, and no special logo on them. With his knowledge, he really couldn't tell which one was a big shot. But it didn't matter. As long as the arrowheads took action, the defenders would definitely feel the power of his arrowheads.
"Fifty feet..."
While Dayinbu was silently calculating the distance, Meng Xia was also silently calculating the distance.
At this moment, he could not feel the movement around him. Everything in the world seemed to have stopped completely. There was no wind, no sunshine, no sound, nothing. There seemed to be no other person around him. All the Tartars condensed into a target in front of him.
The sight at the muzzle had firmly locked the three feathers and the thick body beneath the three feathers. No matter how the other Tartars changed, there were only these three feathers in Meng Xia's eyes. The Tartars' body was very thick, which certainly gave them the power to fight, but it wanted to give Meng Xia a better chance to aim.
"One hundred and fifty steps..."
Entered range.
Da Yinbu decisively pulled the bowstring with force, and at the same time raised the bent bow with his left hand up. The thick rusty arrow immediately raised and aimed at the defenders behind the battlements in Huangxian. He saw a defender between the battlements, holding a musket and looking at his side. The defender obviously did not notice the danger, did not notice a sharp arrow, which had already locked him firmly. As long as one arrow passed, he would be subjected to a huge impact force and fell directly from the battlements, taking at least one meter away.
Yes, Dayinbu definitely has such confidence.
Every time he attacks the city, his arrowheads can make the defenders suffer a lot, causing great shock and panic to the enemy. It is precisely because of the shock and panic that the defenders' combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. When the Tartars really climbed up to the city, they no longer had much courage and will to resist.
Even if the other party holds a shield, it cannot stop it. Because he uses a special big arrow. The weight of this big arrow is more than five times that of an ordinary arrowhead. Ordinary wooden shields or rattan cards cannot stop it at all. The Ming army's armor cannot stop it either.
"Forty feet..."
Meng Xia's index finger on his right hand tightened the trigger.
At the gap of the sight, the three feathered Tartars were raising their bent bows.
It's this moment!
Meng Xia decisively pulled the trigger.
Unable to hear the gunshot for the time being, Meng Xia only felt that the tiger gun in his hand seemed to have a slight shock, and the butt stock pressed on his shoulder pushed him back. This was all very slight, so slight that only he himself could feel it. Then, he saw a little bit of white smoke coming out of the muzzle, just like the kind of white smoke when the legendary monster appeared.
The three feathers of the Tartars were still very clear. The bow and arrow in the Tartars' hands were raised. In just a moment, the other party's bow and arrow will take action. However, Meng Xia had a strange feeling. He felt that the other party's bow and arrow would never have the chance to take action again.
Dayinbu indeed raised his bow and pulled the string back with all his strength. It was a little short of the time that the bow strings could be opened. At that time, just lightly release his fingers, and the heavy arrowheads would roar away, bringing the defender on the top of the city to a rain of blood and completely knocking him to the back of the city wall. Yes, he has such confidence.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something tiny was hit on his chest, and it seemed that he was quietly bitten by some insect. This feeling was very strange. He had never felt this way before. Involuntarily, his right hand suddenly released the bowstring, and his left hand couldn't help but tremble. As a result, the heavy arrow shot out like this.
There is no feeling of taking action at all.
Dayinbu clearly felt that his arrow had lost its effect. Because the arrow was shot out without control. He had not realized that something had hit him on his body. He subconsciously looked at the armor on his chest and found that there seemed to be a very small hole on it, as if he had been bitten by some insect.
