The ground trembled, and huge plumes of sharp gunpowder smoke instantly rose up. Amidst the deafening roar, pieces of smoke rose from the Xuan army's defense line, and the Buddha Wolf machine cannon and the Tiger Crouching Cannon fired in volleys.
During the roar of artillery fire, large cannons were ejected from the muzzle of the Fo Lang machine. As long as the Qing army's shield vehicles were hit, they would all be shattered. The distance was too close. After the cannons shattered the shield vehicles, they were still jumping and rolling.
There was a cry from behind the shield car.
It was like a huge gust of wind blowing, and with the roar of dense lead pellets and iron bullets, they hit the coated Aha and auxiliary soldiers behind the shield cart, including the Qing army's bows and arrows that followed the shield cart layer by layer.
Large pieces of hands were also swept to the ground, and dense blood holes appeared on everyone's body.
…………
Gou Changsheng, the first commander of the C Corps of the Left Sentinel A, stared at the Qing army's shield car slowly advancing on the passage with round eyes. He estimated that it was about to enter the eighty-step distance, and reminded loudly: "Get ready, listen.
Just fire when the cannon fires, don’t give a damn..."
"boom……"
There was a loud noise, and the artillery fire was continuous. As the smoke rose, the cannons flew, especially the big cannons of the Folang machine gun. As long as they hit the shield car, they would be shattered to pieces.
The Qing archers who were hiding behind the shield chariot suddenly became panicked, especially those who saw their companions being killed and maimed by artillery fire.
"Fight, fight the Tartars..."
Gou Changsheng shouted loudly in a hoarse voice amidst the roar of artillery fire.
The sound of "bang...bang..." is endless.
Although no particularly standard volley was fired, the power of the volley of guns was still fired. Those Qing soldiers hiding behind the shield car were completely exposed to Xuan's army after the shield car shattered.
The sound of firecrackers sounded like exploding beans, and as the bullets flew, there was immediately a wailing sound.
…………
Here, the sergeants on the Xuan army's defense line braved the arrows thrown by the Qing army and fired a volley of muskets. Most of the shield cars in the front row of the Qing army were destroyed, and the Qing soldiers behind them were also hit by artillery and fire muskets.
, suffered heavy casualties.
However, under the urging of the urgent sound of war drums, many Qing saber and shield bearers wearing heavy armor rushed forward one after another. They rushed through the queue of archers, crossed over from the trench, and rushed forward.
The Qing army rushed forward in dense layers, exceeding the imagination of the soldiers of Xuan Army. Although many people fell to the ground and wailed under the attack of cannons and artillery, they could not stop the forward momentum of the Qing troops.
Jia Chang Gou Changsheng looked at the ferocious offensive of the Qing heavy armored infantry holding shields on the side passage, and his heart felt cold. He saw the gun soldiers beside him were loading ammunition, but the Qing soldiers kept charging forward.
While he was anxious, there was a roar, and the two Franco cannons at the entrance of the passage roared again. The Qing soldiers in front fell to the ground, and a thick bullet penetrated the heavy-armored Qing soldiers in the front row.
Lead a bloody path.
Although the Qing soldiers' charge at the passage stopped, those Qing soldiers who had jumped over the ditch rushed forward again. Although some of them were brave men who fell into the trench while leaping because of the wide trench and were injured by the sharp spikes of wooden sticks inside.
If you don't stop its offensive, it will keep coming.
Less than thirty steps forward, a deep ditch blocked the way forward. With their previous experience, they jumped over it one after another with the momentum of running.
Unexpectedly, although the opposite side of this trench was unremarkable, it was extremely slippery. The first row of Qing soldiers who jumped over slipped one after another. Before they could get up, the Qing soldiers behind them rushed over again and fell on top of them.
Gou Changsheng didn't have time to think about it. He saw that most of the gun soldiers had been loaded, and the Qing army rushed forward at the passage, shouting: "Aim at the Tatars, hit..."
After saying that, he drew out his sword and prepared to rush forward to fight with the Qing soldiers!
…………
Groups of heavy armored infantrymen of the Qing army rushed forward with shields raised. Their biggest enemy was first of all the Folang machine artillery that fired at unknown times from the opposite side. That was their biggest nightmare.
Every time the fire flashed and the smoke rose, countless Qing warriors fell to the ground!
Next is the fire cannons. Although they have heavy armor and large shields, at such a distance, they cannot withstand the bombardment of Xuan Da's military fire cannons.
A dense formation of Qing soldiers rushed up, with a distance of dozens of steps. As long as Xuan Dajun's gunmen took aim and fired, a large cloud of blood mist would appear on the heavy armor of a Qing soldier, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Tian Mingyu commanded twenty gunners in his team, and with the cooperation of his comrades from another team on the opposite side of the passage, they flanked the oncoming Qing troops. Supported by three artillery pieces standing at the head of the passage, they indeed killed and wounded a large number of Qing troops.
However, there were too many layers of Qing troops. After the gunner fired another round of Fran machine cannons, the Qing troops were about to rush to the earth wall. Huang An, the commander of the third armor, picked up his shield and dagger and shouted loudly: "Brothers,
Kill the Tatars..."
His burly figure jumped up from behind the earth wall, and took the lead to meet the oncoming heavy armored infantry of the Qing army. The Yijia sergeant on the opposite side also rushed up at this time. The reserved passage was not wide, with room for about twenty
People pass side by side.
Huang An and other two armored heavy infantrymen, who numbered exactly twenty, rushed forward and almost blocked the entire passage. With their shield soldiers in front and spearmen behind, they occupied the center of the passage and stood together facing the Qing soldiers.
…………
The passages everywhere are only a dozen steps wide. Although the Qing soldiers have a huge advantage in numbers, they can't move through them. The width is limited. No matter how many they have, they can only have about twenty in a row.
There were rows of Qing soldiers coming up from behind. No matter how anxious they were, they couldn't get through unless the people in front were dead.
They rushed to get closer to twenty steps, when suddenly, Xuan Dajun's Crouching Tiger Cannon happened to be loaded. There was a loud bang and smoke rose. The two rows of clear soldiers who were rushing forward were directly beaten into the air, and then they followed.
The people there were all bloody and bleeding.
But there were too many Qing soldiers, and they were crowded on the narrow passage. The Qing soldiers behind were crowded all the way forward, unable to stop at all. They stepped over the corpses of dead Qing soldiers and were about to rush into the Xuan army's defense line.
Then he saw an army of more than twenty soldiers rushing out in armor, and the two sides fought bloody battles.
At this time, after the Qing troops rushing forward crossed the first trench, they were not in a hurry to cross the second trench. Many of their archers were at a distance of more than 40 steps, with bows and arrows, shooting directly at the Xuanzang wall behind the earth wall.
Generals of the army.
These Qing army archers were generally armed with strong bows and sharp arrows. They aimed at the soldiers of the Xuan Army behind the earthen wall and suppressed them with their bows and arrows.
The two sides exchanged fire for a while, and those Qing archers were really powerful. After they rushed within 40 or 50 steps, many Xuan army soldiers were shot to death by the Qing archers as long as they exposed their upper bodies or even their heads.
, shot wound.
With such a close distance, Xuan Dajun's fire cannons were extremely accurate, and as long as they were hit by the fire cannons, it was almost impossible to survive. However, since they were at a numerical disadvantage, there was nothing they could do.
In this way, the Qing army's bows and arrows almost completely suppressed the Xuan army. As long as the Qing army's heavy armored infantry opened a gap in the passage, they could swarm up and attack the Jiazhuang Ming army camp.
