Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Starting from Meishan Chapter 442 There are many tricks
However, as soon as Xia Longshan finished speaking, there was a dense sound of gunfire from the opposite side.
The next moment, there were continuous screams from the sidecar formation. At least twenty musketeers fell down after being shot, and the remaining musketeers quickly shrank behind the guard board.
Wu Yingqi was also shot in the stomach.
It's just a brush against the ear, so it's not a big problem.
"Uncle Xia!" Wu Yingqi squatted down behind the guard board, glared at Xia Longshan with some dissatisfaction, and said with a dark face, "Is this the dummy you are talking about? Can Ming Gou's dummy also fire a gun?"
"
"This..." Xia Longshan was suddenly speechless, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
I thought that the bright dog opposite me was really cunning, and it was hard to guard against what was true and what was false.
Wu Yingqi mocked Xia Longshan for a moment, then turned back to the musketeers hiding behind the guardrail of the sidecar and shouted: "Warriors of the Liaoxi Corridor, you have been enjoying the support of the generals of Liaoxi for decades, and now it's you
It’s time to repay the Liaoxi general with your life, show your courage, work together, and defeat the bright dog!"
Following this loud roar, Wu Yingqi stood up again and stood behind the guard wall of the side car.
Seeing this, the more than a hundred musketeers huddled behind the protective wall also stood up, raised their muskets, and fired.
The musketeers of the Ming Army on the opposite side of the gun platform opened fire almost simultaneously. There was a dense sound of firing, and a dozen more musketeers of the Guan Ning Army were shot and fell on the car, wailing continuously.
Wu Yingqi was unmoved at all.
"Each team, take turns to play and play!"
A second team of musketeers quickly came up and prepared to fire their guns.
The Ming army on the opposite side once again fired first, and another musketeer fell to the ground.
At this time, the car wall was basically shrouded in gunpowder smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.
However, this did not have much impact on the musketeers of the Guan Ning Army. Musketeers continued to come up, discharge the muskets and then withdraw to reload. Some musketeers were shot and dragged away by their feet.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
In this way, the Ming army and Guan Ning army exchanged fierce fire across a trench thirty steps wide.
Although Guan Ning's army used matchlocks, the number of musketeers was larger. They were divided into six teams and took turns to fire, which could barely guarantee the continuity of firepower without interruption.
But the firepower density cannot be compared with the Ming army.
After a while, the Guan Ning Army Musketeers fell into a disadvantage.
The exchange of fire lasted only more than a quarter of an hour, and Guan Ning's army had already suffered four to five hundred casualties.
However, the firepower of the Ming army on the opposite side did not weaken at all. Instead, there were bad signs of becoming more courageous as they fought.
The fact is indeed the case. The Ming army on the opposite side was also an unskilled soldier at the beginning. After all, they had not participated in too many battles and did not have much experience in shooting guns.
There is still a difference between training and actual combat.
But today the Ming army was really happy.
The more times you fire the gun, the more experience you gain.
As a result, the Ming army's marksmanship improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Now it was Guan Ning's army's turn to suffer, and casualties increased sharply.
At the beginning, the Ming army on the opposite side fired a round of gunfire, and Guan Ning's army suffered at most twenty casualties.
But now, a round of firing by the Ming army can bring down thirty or even forty Guan Ning troops. If this continues, in about two quarters of an hour, nearly two thousand musketeers will be completely dead.
"Niece, this can't go on like this." Xia Longshan became anxious.
After all, among the musketeers who were killed or injured, there were also pacesetters under his command.
"We have to use cannons. Let the Eight Banners and Han Army bring the red cannons here!"
Wu Yingqi ignored Xia Longshan and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Spearman, attack!"
If the musketeers cannot overwhelm the Ming army on the opposite side, they can only use the spearmen to launch a strong attack. As long as the spearmen enter the gun platform, the musketeers of the Ming army on the opposite side will become lambs.
It must be admitted that Guan Ning's army still has some combat effectiveness.
Wu Yingqi gave an order, and the spearmen of the first team climbed over the sidecar guard wall against the Ming army's volley of guns, and then jumped into the trench like dumplings.
Xia Longshan also had a glimmer of hope.
In the attack just now, the musketeers' musketry and the spearmen's attacks were separated, but this time, the spearmen's attack was covered by the firepower of the musketeers, so it might be possible.
However, Xia Longshan's thought hadn't finished yet.
The first row of spearmen who jumped into the trench let out pitiful wails.
When Xia Longshan and Wu Yingqi looked over anxiously, they saw that most of the nearly 200 spearmen from the first team had fallen to the ground in the trench, each holding their feet and wailing.
"This is the pear rope chain!"
"The thief who enters the mother-in-law's house is tied with a pear rope."
The pear rope is a defensive weapon.
As the name suggests, they are iron pears strung with ropes.
There are six pears connected to each string, one every one foot, with a total length of five feet.
When using it, you only need to throw the pear rope on the ground, and it is very convenient to put it away.
Wu Yingqi stared at Xia Longshan, his eyes almost bursting with fire: "Uncle, didn't you say there are no iron pear trees in the trench?"
"This, that, I don't know either." Xia Longshan was confused, "But it didn't happen just now. My people also went down just now, so they didn't step on the iron pear."
"Damn it!" Wu Yingqi cursed.
Then he yelled at Guan Ning's army in the trench: "What are you crying for? Isn't it just that the soles of your feet were pierced by iron pear pears? If you still want to survive, quickly remove the pear ropes!"
"Yes, clear the pear rope chain!" Xia Longshan also roared.
Guan Ningjun below was just waking up from a dream, struggling to clean up the pear ropes.
Soon, the second spearmen of Guan Ning's army also jumped into the trench, and this time they were unscathed.
"Kill!" The leaders of Guan Ning's army roared, and they jumped towards the gun platform in front of them.
However, after rushing forward a few steps, the screams of "Hugh" and "Hugh" suddenly sounded in the ditch, and then rows of arrows were shot from the bottom of the ditch on the opposite side.
This row of missing arrows was as dense as migratory locusts.
Nearly two hundred spearmen were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
"Ye Fu Geng Ge!" Wu Yingqi's lungs were about to burst with anger, "This is Ye Fu Geng Ge!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Those who are plowing at night, armed with a crossbow, use floating light arrows to dye grass and black poison, tie a string to the bow thirty steps, cross the road, and pile up grass to hide
Shape, touch the line and the arrow will hit the target. For fear of hurting others, the important road must be blocked.
"Who is the bastard opposite, and how can he be so shameless?"
"What's the point of working at night in broad daylight? This isn't an intersection!"
"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, ah!"
Wu Yingqi's mentality has collapsed. In his whole life, he has never seen such a shameless person.
"Elder nephew, calm down, calm down, don't be impulsive!" Xia Longshan was about to dissuade him, but it was already too late.
Wu Yingqi had already personally led the third group of spearmen to jump into the trench, and then rushed forward with howls.
"Brother, be careful, be careful! The guy opposite is too cunning, be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Yingqi, who had just rushed to the middle of the thirty-step wide ditch, suddenly flew into the air.
Wu Yingqi did not fly by himself, but was blown up by the landmine, because at the same time as Wu Yingqi flew up, a dazzling red light suddenly bloomed from the ground under his feet.
Then there was a huge explosion.
Then there were continuous violent explosions.
The Ming army actually laid a large number of mines in the trenches in advance.
The spearmen following Wu Yingqi were blown up one after another.
Many spearmen and even the soles of their feet were blown to pieces and turned into pulp.
"Big nephew? Big nephew?!" Xia Longshan called repeatedly towards the trench.
Then Wu Yingqi didn't respond, and his body didn't move.
"Boom!" Xia Longshan suddenly heard a violent sound of metal and metal clashing in his ears, and then his head tilted back involuntarily, and he fell down from the sidecar.
"General!" Several soldiers rushed forward and helped Xia Longshan up.
Xia Longshan was still confused, his eyes lost focus.
Somewhat numbly, he untied the leather belt and took off the bowl's stomach, only to see a dent on the front.
There was also a lead piece embedded in the middle of the pit. The lead piece had completely deformed and almost penetrated his stomach.
"General, you are really lucky." A soldier said, "This lead almost penetrated your stomach."
Xia Longshan's eyes rolled, and his soul suddenly returned to his body. Then he jumped up and shouted sternly: "Send the order, the whole camp retreats, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
Xia Longshan's mentality has completely collapsed.
He didn't want to stay here even for a moment longer.
I have been fighting for half my life and have never met such an opponent.
At that moment, Xia Longshan didn't even want a sidecar, and just fled back with the remaining defeated soldiers.
However, the two battalions of the 4,000 Guan Ning troops that had previously attacked were reduced to less than 2,000 when they withdrew. The rest were either killed by the Ming army, or were seriously injured and lay wailing in the ditch.
…
On the watchtower at Dagukou.
Yan Yingyuan put down the telescope, stuck his head out and said to the ordering soldier: "Send the order, let the left camp seize the time to collect the bodies of the green camp in the ditch, capture the wounded soldiers, and send them to the rear camp for treatment together with the wounded soldiers of the left camp."
"Then rearrange the night-crooked weapons, pear rope strings and mines."
"Yes." The messenger agreed and immediately waved a flag to the front.
Chen Mingyu was a little puzzled: "Jianheng, why do you still need to treat the wounded soldiers in the Green Camp?"
"This is the will of the Holy One." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "The Holy One once said that population is the most precious resource. Even if war is inevitable, China's vitality must be preserved as much as possible."
"Not to mention wounded soldiers from the Green Camp, even wounded soldiers from the Jian slaves still need to be treated."
After a pause, he continued: "As the saying goes, when Di Yi enters China, China will be conquered. As long as the slaves and injured soldiers can return to China after being resuscitated, it is worthwhile. For many things, killing alone may not be the best solution.
"
Chen Mingyu then sighed and said: "The Holy Spirit is truly a benevolent king through the ages with such a broad mind."
"That's right." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "Throughout the ages, the benevolence and righteousness of many kings were only superficial, but the benevolence and righteousness of today's emperor is the benevolence and righteousness that shines through in his bones. This is a truly people-oriented emperor!"
"The Ming Dynasty has such a benevolent king, the world is very lucky, and the people are very lucky."
