Chapter 17 Attack on Fort Lushun again

The sun was hanging in the sky with a scorching heat, and the ground rose not only the mist that distorted its sight, but also the smell of blood mixed in it.

Shield chariots slowly approached the Ming army's position from the east, like ugly little monsters. After two days, Jiannu began his attack on Lushun again.

After suffering heavy casualties in the first attack, even Zhaisanggu was beaten to death on the spot, Jirgalang tried his best to persuade Amin, who was furious and did not continue to launch the attack.

Five Niulu lost nearly a thousand people, three Niulue Zhen were killed, and the Han army also suffered almost casualties, which had already reduced nearly one-fifth of the troops from the Later Jin army to more than 10,000 invaded.

Moreover, the changes in the Ming army's tactics were even more shocking.

Even Amin, who calmed down, had to admit that it would definitely not work if he wanted to defeat the enemy and break through the enemy's unethical positions, and if he was not prepared or adjusted his playing style.

Therefore, Jiannu had to spend two days to log and build equipment. And the most commonly used attack equipment for Jiannu, naturally, is not missing.

Many people seem to have the impression of Jiannu being riding and shooting, but they don’t know much about the shield cart that Jiannu relies on the most.

In fact, the two killer weapons that Jiannu had won repeatedly in the early stage were shield chariots and heavy armor infantry. Whenever Jiannu encountered a strong enemy, he usually used these two magic weapons.

Especially during the Liaoshen War, Jiannu fought with the Baigan soldiers and Qi's army and suffered heavy losses. The old slave also ordered: "If you encounter an enemy without a shield chariot, don't go out to fight."

In other words, not only did they use shield cars when siege, but Jiannu often used them as a means of victory when fighting in the field.

Amin, Zhaisanggu and Jirgalang were already convicted when they first arrived in Lushun and launched an attack without a shield cart.

If you win in one fell swoop, you naturally need to say nothing, but once you lose, you will be severely punished, which is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.

Therefore, Amin and Jirgalang personally supervised the attack today, hoping to win in one fell swoop, make up for their sins, and avenge their brothers.

However, the hasty shield car has many defects in protection. Moreover, the cotton armor and iron armor used by Jiannu to resist Ming munitions are not very useful now.

Why was it very useful in the past? The reason is very simple. Because the most firearms equipped by the Ming army were magic guns, fast guns, and three-eyed guns, which were not powerful enough.

The bird gun is more powerful, but the charge is less, so that "the enemy has many bright lights and heavy armor, while those with short bird guns cannot penetrate the hole... It is advisable to reorganize workers to build large bird guns that can penetrate the iron armor."

Boom! As Amin and Jirgalang looked at each other, fireworks rose from the Ming army's positions, and a solid shell weighing several pounds hit.

The shells drew a low ballistic at a speed visible to the naked eye, hitting a shield car, which immediately penetrated the thick shield car guard plate, and then splashed out many broken wood thorns, shooting like flying.

The two Han soldiers who were pushing carts screamed and covered their faces and fell to the ground and rolled.

Boom! Another bombardment was bombardment. The shells did not hit the shield car, but flew over between the two chariots. A flesh and blood flew out from the Jiannu array behind the car, followed by a scream and wailing.

The solid shell has a long range. If it is hard ground, it can penetrate a team of soldiers while bounce, and it is the best weapon to deal with shield cars.

However, the Dongjiang Army did not have many artillery equipment, and they were all old models, such as Franc and Tiger Squat Cannons.

For real field artillery, the weapons bureau of the capital, has just begun to be cast, and it is divided into two types: five-pound cannons (six pounds) and ten-pound cannons (twelve pounds). There are not many and have not yet been distributed to the troops.

Jiannu used shield chariots as cover and supported the sparse artillery of the Ming army, slowly approached the wide trench that had caused their companions to flow into a river.

At this moment, the two medium-sized Franchises on the position suddenly roared, as the flames flashed and white smoke rose,

The shells kept firing, and they actually made a beautiful continuous bombardment.

Several shield cars were destroyed, countless wooden pieces and debris flew up, and some were shot towards Jiannu behind the car.

Arrows rose behind the shield chariot, and were in a dark circle, flying towards the Ming army's positions.

"Rise the shield! Hidden!" the officer shouted, and the musketeers put their bodies on the chest wall, while the sword and shield hands raised their shields to block themselves and the grenade launchers.

The ejected arrows had a certain arc and could not pose a threat to the Ming soldiers behind the chest wall. In the trenches, even if they were squatting and hiding, they would easily avoid Jiannu's bow and arrow.

The shield chariot was blocked in front of the trench, and Jiannu's advance ended here.

The launcher knocked on the iron hook, and grenade trucks raised their wooden poles and threw their arms. The black and thunder rushed past the sky with a few sparks, flew over the trenches, crossed the shield truck, and smashed into Jiannu's queue.

Time passed by a few seconds, loud noises burst out one after another, light burst out one after another, and black smoke rose one after another.

The sight became blurred in the smoke and fire, but in the eyes of Amin and Jirgalang, the fireworks could still be seen rising, and the soldiers screamed and wailed, and blood was splattered in the shrapnel.

The arrows in the air suddenly became sparse. Although Jiannu behind the shield car could block the muskets and the direct bombardment of the cannon could also resist one or two, this volleyball bombing still caused them to be in chaos.

Amin and Jirgalang looked at each other and frowned tightly.

The changes in the Ming army's tactical style and weapons and equipment made the two of them a little helpless and even more shocked.

Obviously, the crushing defeat in the first offensive did not fully test the Ming army's true combat power and fighting style.

Take this kind of weapon that was shot and landing and explosion as an example. In terms of range, it was underestimated by Amin, Jirgalang, and Jiannu officers and soldiers.

To put it bluntly, the Ming army hid and retained something in the first tentative attack. The design of this wide but not deep trench is not that simple in terms of distance.

There are messy obstacles in the wide trench, and it will be difficult to advance the shield van, and the impact of heavy armored infantry will be slowed down.

Amin hesitated and bit his lip, not knowing whether he should issue a charge and attack order.

Boom, boom, boom...

On the Ming army's positions, several artillery pieces that had cooled down and reloaded again showed their power and bombarded Jiannu's shield chariot.

As the wood chips fly, the protection composed of the shield car is no longer complete, and the casualties and chaos caused by the bombing also make the shield car come forward and fill it slowly.

Ten eagle guns fired volleys, and lead bullets shot into Jiannu's queue from the gap, their heads were knocked away, their arms were broken, and the heavy armored infantry flew across the flesh and blood of a canopy were irresistible.

The horn whimpered and Amin finally gave the order to attack.

Hesitate in front of the trench, and he can only be in vain for casualties. He should use heavy armored infantry to fight across the trench before all the shield chariots are destroyed.

Under the roar and organization of the officers, a cluster of bows and arrows poured wildly towards the Ming army's position. The Han army in heavy armor shouted and rushed over the shield chariot, jumped into a wide trench that was half a person deep, and rushed towards the Ming army's position with a tough bullet.

That's right, the shouts were mixed with fear. They were the cannon fodder that charged forward, consumed the gunpowder and bullets of the Ming army, and created better offensive opportunities for Jiannu behind them.

Bypassing the added obstacles in the wide trench, the Han army moved forward, rushed through the trench, jumped onto the edge of the trench, and left Luzhai wooden stakes dozens of meters away in front of them.

The muskets rang out like beans, and rows of continuous shooting made the rising smoke become denser and denser. The thick smoke quickly covered the front of the position and swallowed up all people and things.

Amin narrowed her eyes, exchanged glances with Jirgalang, and nodded at the same time.

The sound of the horn changed, as unpleasant as a wolf cried and howled, resounding throughout the battlefield.

This is not an order to retreat, but another fierce attack. Just to the east, it was a counterattack that Jiannu deliberately hid.

That's right, Amin and Jirgalang not only built shield cars, but also formulated a more meticulous and insidious offensive plan.

In their opinion, their own troops must be more powerful than the Ming army. However, if they attack at the same time, they will use some equal troops, making it difficult to form a sharp edge to break through the formation.

Therefore, while surrounding Lushun Fort on all sides, they chose to make a fierce attack on one side to attract most of the defenders' troops, and then suddenly rushed in with a lightning attack on the other side, which was even more likely to succeed.

In order to achieve this effect, Amin and Jirgalang not only came to the feint attack face to command, but also transferred all the shield cars over and put on a fierce attack.

On the other side, two thousand men had quietly moved and hid behind the besieged troops, waiting for a command here.

But Amin and others ignored one thing, that is, the wooden watchtower standing tall in Lushun Fort.

If it was just an ordinary watchtower, they didn't know that the officers on the watchtower held a telescope instead of relying on human eyes to observe military information.

When he heard the order, Jialaezhen Mosier, who had been anxiously waiting, turned over and the horse, howled with a wolf, led two thousand elite soldiers to gallop, galloped through the path that the troops in front made way, and rushed straight to the front of the broad trench.

Jiannu rushed off his horse without hesitation, raised his shield and waved his sword, and jumped off the broad trench. They looked ferocious and shouted loudly, rushing towards the Ming army's position.

Hundreds of Jiannu immediately shot a rain of arrows at the Ming army's positions, jumped off their horses and replaced them with strong bows, and kept shooting forward.

If you want to succeed, Amin and others think it's just a word of fast. Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army was attracted by the feint attack, they would probably transfer troops to reinforce the Ming army and catch them off guard.

Learning about war in war was not only a large number of new troops equipped with a large number of coercine guns and grenade vehicles, but also excavated a large number of civil fortifications, but the same was true for Jiannu.

The wide front, slightly sparse offensive formation, the shield increased the protection of armor, Jiannu learned his lesson, or the heavy casualties forced them to change.

But what stood in front of them was Luzhai and wooden stakes, as well as the Lumi gun, which was more powerful than the bird gun?

When the dense explosion sounds [Zone 8 www.yeyin8.com] and muskets sounded, even Amin and Jirgalang, who were far away on the other side, were all disgraceful.

This - is even more fierce than the counterattack on this side?!
