Chapter 123 Battle for the Highlands
It can be said that Azig racked his brains in order to make his soldiers effective in the trenches.
But as a defender.
The Black Flag Army had too many firearms on hand, and their fighting methods were different from all the armies Jiannu had come into contact with before.
Coupled with the trenches, its defensive power is beyond imagination.
Even with armed counterattacks, the local firepower of both sides is still not of the same magnitude.
But it has to be said that charging while counterattacking with a bow and a musket can be regarded as an awkward attack, and it barely looks like a real attack on the trench.
And this time, they were protected by soldiers holding heavy shields, and they were also divided into small teams to disperse the attack.
It worked wonders for a while!
Jiannu charged all the way, and actually rushed to the bottom of the hillock and high ground despite the smoke and dust and artillery fire!
Zhu Youjian began to mobilize his troops as early as the beginning of the bombardment, and concentrated half of the soldiers on the left and right sides of the hill and at the top.
The high ground must not be lost. Not only is the only heavy artillery in the army stationed here, but it may also be a key point where miraculous effects can be achieved in the future.
That is the enhanced version of Sky Thunder and Land Mine.
This raid is obviously effective, and the enemy is just around the corner!
It's just that this time the Jiannu charge was not as violent as before. The main reason was that the elm cannon shot from a low position on the mound. If the angle was too large, the gunpowder and iron sand inside would leak out directly.
The sharp-eyed Jian Nu behind him saw a black ball as big as a cantaloupe flying down the hillside.
The Black Flag Army took advantage of the intensive attack on the terrain and immediately gained a huge advantage in the close combat. Those Jiannu who had dispersed to avoid the elm cannons also quickly gathered support when they saw this!
At this moment, Zhu Youjian had already taken out his fire sickle and lit the simple grenade he had personally instructed the craftsman to make.
However, the forced charge from the opposite side was not very different from before. Although they rushed forward, they no longer had a formation to speak of, so they were still charging forward without fear of death.
"Thunder that shakes the sky! Thunder that shakes the sky!"
Yesterday, the two armies could still be distinguished by their armor. Today, many Black Flag troops wore intact armor captured previously. The only difference between the two armies now is that one is higher and the other is lower. One side has many black clothes and black armor.
.
But in a daze, all the Jiannu people heard a loud shout from the savages!
Later, the soldiers on the front line of the slave establishment discovered that they quickly made a gap in front of them!
The savages are blasting us with cannons?
It was impossible to turn back. The savage in front of him was extremely ferocious. It was enough to bear him charging down from a high position.
This is what the slave-building pioneer officer in the middle of the crowd shouted. A mere thunderbolt cannot affect the overall situation! In the melee, the strange wooden firearms of the savages can no longer be used!
This battle should wash away the shame of yesterday!
"Get out of the way!"
Zhu Youjian's face was naturally gloomy.
So this fight!
He must kill with all his strength! Try to fully exert the motivating effect of the identity of ‘Wulte’ on the savage Jurchens!
"kill!"
The explosion that resounded behind them made the Jiannu soldiers on the front line into a trance. There was no other way for such an explosion except cannons!
The soldiers in front who were about to kill the savages were shouted back to their senses in time, but it only took them a moment to lower their heads!
"boom!!"
At this time, he couldn't hide anything. Zhu Youjian simply ordered his men in uniform to take out the roaring guns. There was no need to save, and he took advantage of Jiannu before he could rush forward and hit the place where Jiannu was concentrated.
Throw one in to test the water first.
As a result, when firing down a hill, it is still effective at mid-range, but at close range, the power is greatly reduced, and there are often launch failures.
"Run!"
As soon as this roar came out, the Black Flag soldiers and the tribal leaders, who were already so excited that they started to tremble, and carried the energy of yesterday's victory, screamed strangely!
With iron molds and gunpowder, a very simple and simple weapon can be made.
After drawing a beautiful arc, it accurately landed on the stream of people who were gathering on the front line to fight against the savage soldiers.
That was when Jian Nu roared and shouted to surround and suppress the Black Flag soldiers.
So everyone shouted excitedly and ran like crazy!
Even though they could see many Black Flag soldiers standing on the slope, waiting in full formation, they did not flinch!
Firearms have shortcomings on the terrain.
Several Jiannu soldiers suddenly became light and flew for a while, then collapsed on the ground and rolled twice, not knowing whether they were alive or dead!
Take another closer look! Only then did I realize that it was a man running towards me carrying a huge iron shield! A little giant!
It can be seen that the Jiannu soldiers had absolute confidence in their combat abilities after close combat.
The enemy's firearms on the slope were really scary, but after all, these people were elite veterans, and most of them could see that even after the previous disastrous defeat.
Heart-rending roars suddenly sounded.
So we must not give them another chance to stand firm on the slope back to back!
Let’s fight hand-to-hand! Still condescending! How can the fierce and brave savage Jurchens be weaker than the Jianzhou Jurchens!
With the flail in his hand, Zhu Youjian saw that Jiannu's fastest running was less than ten steps away from the trench line on the hill! He took a sharp breath! He climbed out of the trench and shouted: "Kill Jiannu!!"
They are all wearing armor again and look like tough stubble!
Our climbing formation was a bit scattered. The enemy came from the opposite side and attacked the small ones with more troops. It was pretty good to be able to withstand it. We could only wait for others to gather up and surround and kill these savages!
During the rumbling explosions, although the elm cannon was limited, the power of more than a dozen dragon roaring cannons made the uphill road to Jiannu extremely difficult, and soldiers in full armor and heavy shields often collapsed in front of them.
Amidst the many battle roars, Zhu Youjian smiled ferociously and roared, but did not rush forward immediately. Instead, he threw his flail on his shoulder. When many black flag soldiers began to rush forward amidst the orders, he touched
Towards the back.
Zhu Youjian, who jumped out of the trench, knew that the Black Flag Army could not keep up with the Jiannu in terms of the number of soldiers.
The war cry of the Jurchen flavor is the same as that of the opposite Jiannu!
It is also the best observation point in the entire trench position.
But they took a closer look! Above the gap, there seemed to be a black boulder rushing straight down with huge force!
He was the most terrifying general in the Savage Formation!!
If apart from the savage firearms, the slaves were most shocked before, the second one was this little giant that jumped out of the trench where the savages were hiding!
Many soldiers saw with their own eyes that their comrades finally rushed to the front of the formation! This monster jumped up! The chain hammer in his hand directly smashed the soldiers who rushed towards him with their swords and hammers to pieces!
It was really pulpy! The knife was shattered, and half of the person's body and head were collapsed by the hammer! If he didn't have armor, I don't know how much the rotten flesh would have grown!
Several of them were no match for him! They all ended up miserable!
"Hide! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!!"
At this time, the roars of the soldiers at the forefront of the establishment of slaves already contained a hint of panic.
Not to mention anything else, just quickly catch up to the size of a tiger, with that ferocious thorny iron shield! And it’s still condescending! Can you survive if you get hit!?
On the opposite side, Zhu Youjian held the iron shield tightly, with a pair of eyes exposed from behind, and he would create wherever there were the most slaves!
The effect of the grenade was quite unsatisfactory given its size and weight. Seeing that the Jiannu slaves were about to gather, Zhu Youjian could not let them gain a foothold in the trenches!
The thick iron shield in his hand was also customized by him in order to make full use of his weight. It had several spikes specially added to it, which has both deterrence and lethality!
In the eyes of the Black Flag soldiers, Zhu Youjian rushed past them like a gust of wind! He ran straight into the crowd of slaves! He directly hit a person and flew down the hillside while bleeding!
Then he waved the flail in his hand! No one around him dared to get close! They all fled in a hurry!!
Chapter completed!
