Chapter 1446 Key Figures
Yangu Li shook his head, trying to drive this ominous thought out of his mind. Now that the army has surrounded the opponent's position and is only one step away from breaking through its defense line, how can he give up at this time?
Thoughts? As long as they can break through the defense, even if the Haihan army has weapons in hand, how can they block the impact of the cavalry at close range. If they can really capture one or two Haihan generals, then even if one or two thousand more people die now, it will be worth it.
.
Yangguli was originally a decisive person in killing, otherwise he would not have gained Nurhaci's trust based on his military exploits and married his daughter to him. Although his mind wavered for a moment, he soon re-firmed his determination and left the rest.
All the few troops were thrown into the battlefield.
The Hou Jin Army has an absolute advantage in strength, but the problem is that the arc-shaped perimeter of the Haihan position is only a hundred meters wide for attack. Thousands of people are crowded together. In fact, only a few hundred people in the front row can launch an attack on the Haihan position.
Direct offensive. Of course, you can now also count the hundreds of archers who are constantly throwing arrows in the back row. But these only attack methods are difficult to have obvious effects on the tightly defended Haihan position.
, on the contrary, the Hou Jin soldiers were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye under the attack of Haihan's various gunpowder weapons.
At the end of the battle, almost the outside of Haihan's position was covered with the corpses of people and horses. When one stepped on it, there was a pool of uncongealed blood, which was sticky and slippery. Very few people could stand firmly.
Not to mention having to charge and fight in such a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This greatly affected the combat efficiency of the Hou Jin Army. Many people were killed by bullets or grenades flying from nowhere while they were still fighting against the pool of blood at their feet.
The debris hit.
A group of lingering bald-nosed crows appeared in the sky. This kind of bird was regarded as a sign of bad luck by both the Han and the Jurchens. They gathered above the Hou Jin army and made unpleasant calls, as if they were coming.
It's like summoning the souls of the people who died in the battle. But everyone knows that they are just waiting for the battle to end before they can fly down and eat the corpses on the ground.
Finally, two Bagaras saw the opening and attacked the Haihan position from a gun emplacement on the defense line. However, as soon as the Jin army let out a cheer, it was interrupted by the sound of a cannon, and the two who rushed in
Bagala flew out with the cannonballs. To be precise, their body fragments flew out with the cannonballs, and they were already too dead to die.
The nearby Hou Jin army stagnated for a moment, but still surged towards the gun emplacement. Such a fleeting loophole in the defense line must be eliminated with human life. Although the gun in the emplacement was temporarily
There was no fire, but what greeted them were four or five grenades thrown out one after another. As the continuous explosions sounded, at least a dozen Houjin soldiers who had attacked nearby fell to the ground, and there were already many gaps in the gun emplacement.
The muzzles of a dozen black guns.
Scenes like this keep appearing one after another on the battlefield. Although it seems that this line of defense has reached a point where it can be broken with a poke, but every time when it reaches a desperate situation, Haihan always has a way to push Hou Jin to the door.
After the offensive was beaten back, the corpses dropped by the Jin army in front of various artillery positions even blocked the shooting field of view of some artillery.
It is indeed not easy for the Haihan Army to deal with such a ferocious and reckless offensive. If it were not for the experienced team of the Special Operations Battalion stationed here, the situation of this position would not be as good as the one guarded by the Marine Corps yesterday.
How good was the beachhead? Even so, the arrows that continued to rain down on Haihan's position gradually accumulated and injured many people. Fortunately, Haihan's reserve force was quite sufficient, and the rotation
The efficiency of the substitutes was extremely high, and there was also an emergency team specializing in repairing leaks on the position. Therefore, although dangers were everywhere, they still firmly held the final boundary and did not let the Hou Jin army break through the last layer of paper.
Qian Tiandun held a walkie-talkie in one hand and a telescope in the other, standing on the city wall to watch the battle. In front of him, above his head, and beside him were guards holding shields to provide cover, lest he be injured by stray arrows.
Now, who can gain the upper hand depends on whether Haihan's killing speed can beat the opponent's attack speed to block the muzzle of the gun. However, Qian Tiandun is very calm, because he
Know that Morgan won't let you down.
Morgan's role on the battlefield is not just about the number of enemies he kills, but more importantly, the targets he and his sniper team choose to attack are targets that are more valuable than ordinary soldiers, and destroying these targets will bring great consequences to the enemy.
The impact is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.
For Haihan, the most valuable target on the entire battlefield is naturally the commander-in-chief of the Later Jin Army, the first-class general officer, Shumulu Yanguli, Duke of Zhenghuang Banner. According to the confessions of the prisoners of war, the current command of the entire fortress defense line is
It is controlled by Yangu Li, and who has the power to mobilize all these thousands of soldiers and horses here. Apart from this Lord Yangu Li, there should be no other candidates.
So while Morgan was killing the enemy, his men were also observing this main target. It is not very difficult to find Yanguli's whereabouts on the battlefield. You only need to look at the place with the most flags to find his location.
It's just that Yangu Li has been away from the battlefield supervising the battle in the distance. Based on the effective range of the existing sniper rifle, it is difficult to guarantee that he can hit the target, so the sniper team has been waiting for him to enter with more confidence.
Starting distance.
To shoot such an important target, Morgan will of course not use the gun at hand, but will use his semi-storage Reaper M200 sniper rifle. Having said that, only important targets of Yanguli's level can be used.
It was worthy of letting Morgan use the few ammunition he had to shoot.
Under ideal conditions, this rifle can headshot a target two thousand meters away. To be on the safe side, Morgan did not let his soldiers set up the gun in the shooting position until Yanguli had reached a distance of one thousand meters.
Above. Although there were shouts of killing from inside and outside the position below the city wall, Morgan's fingers adjusting the scope did not tremble at all, and he steadily searched for Yangu Li's figure in his field of vision.
Yangguli had always been dubious about the Haihan Army possessing some advanced muskets that could accurately shoot targets at ultra-long distances, but he still carefully deployed a number of Bagala warriors holding shields around him.
In order to gain a little more life in times of danger. As the battle intensified, his position became closer and closer to the Haihan position, because at this time, the artillery guns on the Haihan position had no time to aim at the distant target, but
Priority should be given to dealing with the Houjin soldiers who are about to invade the position, which means that his place is a relatively safe position for the time being.
Of course, this kind of safety is only relative to those Houjin soldiers who are under the sight of guns. Yangguli did not realize that there were several guns on the distant city wall slowly aiming at where he was.
Position, his attention was focused on the battle in front of him. Seeing his subordinates swarming up against the hail of bullets, he knew that he was only one breath away from breaking through the Haihan position. As long as he could withstand this breath, the final victory would be achieved.
Victory will definitely belong to the Kingdom of Jin. At that time, the captured Haihan people must be escorted back to Shengjing, paraded in the streets, skinned and cramped, and their bodies hung outside the gates of Shengjing for public display.
Morgan didn't know what Yangu Li was thinking at this time, and he didn't intend to care about the thoughts of a dying man. In order to ensure a hit, he specially ordered his four snipers with the most stable marksmanship to aim with him.
For the Yangguli target, he served as the main shooter, while the other four were responsible for waiting for opportunities to make additional shots, in order to increase the certainty of success.
After Morgan recognized Yangu Li's identity from the telescope and took aim, he called Qian Tiandun through the headset connected to the walkie-talkie: "The target is determined, we can start."
Qian Tiandun had been waiting for Morgan's words for a full stick of incense. Even though the position was already struggling to hold on and most people were at the end of their strength, he was still waiting for news from Morgan. He believed that Morgan had changed.
With the ability to control the direction of the war, I believe that the victory of this battle will eventually belong to the invincible Haihan Army.
Qian Tiandun made a gesture, and the orderly soldiers beside him immediately took out their bugles and blew them. This was a signal that a counterattack was about to begin. The soldiers who heard the bugles were emotionally lifted up. Although they were not clear about it,
What kind of arrangements will your superiors make? But the counterattack is imminent, which means that there is not much time left for the Jin army to jump back.
"Do it!" Qian Tiandun gave the order to the walkie-talkie.
After hearing these two words, Morgan adjusted his breathing slightly, held his breath and aimed at the target, and then slowly but firmly pulled the trigger with his right index finger. After the low gunshot sounded, a warhead weighing about 27 grams flew out of the air.
After flying about 800 meters in the air, it penetrated the heavy metal armor on Yangguli's chest, and then opened a bloody hole about two inches in diameter on his back.
Only about half a second later than Morgan's shot, four other sniper rifles aimed at Yanguli also fired at the same time. Since the reaction times of these snipers were similar, the sound of the four rifles firing sounded unexpectedly
There is only one sound.
One of the four bullets was fired into the air, one hit the guard in front of Yangguli, another hit Yangguli's mount, and the last one hit Yanggu who was lying backwards.
Sharp shoulders.
After Yangu Li was shot, he was hit by the huge kinetic energy and fell backwards. Morgan did not fully confirm the specific part of the gun in the scope, but he was basically sure that he should have hit the torso and was shot out by Death.
The bullet hit the torso and there was basically no solution. Morgan was a little regretful that the target fell so fast that he had no time to make up for it with another shot. However, he immediately reported the result to Qian Tiandun: "Hit.
Target, heavy damage!"
According to normal understanding, heavy damage means that the target was not able to get a headshot, but the target should not have a chance to survive. Qian Tiandun was relieved when he heard the reward, and ordered an immediate counterattack.
The sound of the bugle immediately changed, and the firepower on the position also increased a lot. The reserve troops who had been ambushing on the city wall finally showed themselves and began to shoot down the enemy soldiers who were also exhausted.
.And the last batch of grenades stored on the position were all thrown out in just a few seconds, smashing into the area where the Jin army was densest.
Amidst the explosion of grenades, the Houjin Army suddenly heard the gong sound of troops withdrawing from behind. They hesitated for a moment before confirming that this was not an illusion, but that they were actually calling Jin Jin to withdraw troops. Although they did not understand why they chose this
The opportunity came to suddenly withdraw the troops, but most of the Houjin soldiers chose to follow the military order and immediately retreated from the battlefield. A very small number of red-eyed desperadoes still refused to retreat, and they were dispatched with more intensive bullets.
As soon as the signal for the Hou Jin Army to withdraw its troops came out, Qian Tiandun was able to confirm that Morgan's sniper attack should have achieved actual results. Regardless of whether Yangu Li died or not, he must have lost the ability to continue commanding operations, so the Hou Jin Army was panicked.
Withdraw troops. Although the Hou Jin army was almost on the verge of breaking through Haihan's defense line, they still fell short in the end, and all of this was actually within the expectations of Haihan's battle plan. Although it was a bit risky, only in this way could we maximize the attack on Hou Jin.
The army carried out the killings, and the final results proved the success of this plan.
In fact, Yangu Li died within a few seconds after being shot. He didn't even have time to think about whether the bullet that hit him was a stray bullet on the battlefield or a killing move deliberately arranged by Haihan. When the people around him
After the deputy general confirmed that he had expired, he immediately lost the courage to continue fighting. No one dared to confirm whether he would suffer such a traceless killing move after taking over the command. Yang Guli had a chest wound through his chest.
The bullet holes in their backs further proved that the metal armor on their bodies was useless. As long as the Haihan people took action with peace of mind, the armor could not save their lives - they could only survive by leaving the battlefield.
So the lucky ones who survived immediately ordered the troops to retreat. In this case, there is no need to worry about whether they will be held accountable after returning. After all, the general has been seriously injured. The first task is of course to take Yangu Li out of the battlefield for rescue - at least order the withdrawal of troops.
The lieutenant general believed that the cooling body was worth "rescuing". With this reasonable reason to leave the battlefield, Azig would not be able to deal with the defeated troops on charges such as fear of war.
They arrived in great force, but left in a state of disarray. They abandoned their armor along the way and did not even bother to take away all the wounded soldiers. After the Jin Army was defeated in this battle, they immediately abandoned several areas on the defense line that had not been completely conquered by Haihan.
He retreated all the way north to Jinzhou City, which was more than ten miles away, before stopping. Azig gathered the remaining soldiers in Jinzhou, and after counting, he discovered that many senior generals, including Yanguli and Etenyi,
All died in this battle, and the loss of troops was as high as more than 3,000. It was the most tragic defeat in the foreign wars of the Jin Dynasty in the past two years.
