"Give the Rumi gunmen weapons and let them go to the city to defend." Zhou Yuji ordered.
This chariot camp is short of troops, especially lacks the cooperation of infantry. If there are 20,000 Beijing battalions inside to cooperate with the defense, the defense can be almost airtight.
During the Battle of Yang Fan Grassland, there were infantrymen on the city, and there were musketry soldiers in the shooting holes of the steel plates below the city. They cooperated from top to bottom and defeated the Haraqin people to collapse. However, they do not have enough troops now and cannot arrange it like this.
Defending around the city, there were not enough people to form a three-stage shooting, so they had to let the Rumi gunmen go to the city to defend. After they fired their muskets, they used cold weapons to defend the city.
Like the soldiers in the car camp, they were issued with light and flexible chainmail armor.
The vehicle camp was responsible for the defense of vehicles, and they were responsible for the city wall. The Xinghe Regiment training cavalry, which was transferred to cooperate, dismounted and went to the shooting holes in the steel wall under the city to shoot with muskets.
Now that the rebels have arrived at the city, the Rumi Gun's long range has no advantage. Instead, the long reloading time and cumbersome steps have become a disadvantage. At this time, what is important is the rate of fire, and the faster the reloading, the better.
Each member of Xinghe Tuanlian has six double-barreled flintlocks and short muskets, as well as two carbines. It is most suitable for them to shoot under the city.
There are 3,600 people, and there can be 800 people on each side of the city wall. That's enough to cover the shooting positions.
Gao Changlin directed the four gunners to quickly close the gun window and lock it.
"Quick, hurry up, you two go under the car, take the blunderbuss and spears. You two follow me on the roof of the car," he shouted.
"Boss, how can we get up the car when more than half of the roof has collapsed?"
Only then did Gao Changlin realize that their sidecar was hit by a red cannon and the roof was lifted off. Looking up, more than half of it was exposed to the open air.
He grabbed a long bench from under the car and placed it directly in the wall at the rear of the car. This way, half of his body could be exposed outside the car.
He looked at the layout and asked two people to defend here. He quickly got out of the car and went to the car next to him to take a look. He was Xiao Qi, in charge of two cars and ten people. There was a deputy in the car next to him.
The flag is commanding.
This deputy flag is an establishment unique to the vehicle battalion. It was created based on actual needs. There is no such position in other battalions.
These two vehicles and the five-meter-long city wall in the middle are the defense area they are responsible for.
A small Rumi gun flag was used to help defend this section of the city wall. They hurriedly put on their chainmail armor, picked up swords and other weapons, climbed onto the scaffolding, and fired with loaded Rumi guns first, and then handed over the empty guns.
Practice small flags for the Xinghe group below.
Xinghe Tuan Lian Xiaoqi has five people responsible for firing and five people responsible for loading. By the way, they also help them load the ammunition.
By this time, the surging rebels had overturned the barbed wire fences in many places and poured in.
Just in time, Rumi's cannon opened fire, knocking down the rebels again.
Some excited rebels quickly jumped into the previous trench to avoid musket fire.
But when they jumped in, they were dumbfounded and almost cursed in anger.
These trenches have a relatively steep slope to the outside and a very gentle slope to the inside. In other words, the shooting holes under the city walls and the walls can easily shoot people hiding in the trenches. These trenches only protect the outside.
.
A burst of musketry was fired, and a large number of the rebels who entered the trench were killed.
These were originally designed by Yang Fan. The concept came from the trenches outside the European fortresses. These trenches
It has a barrier and protective effect when shooting externally. However, once the enemy enters the trench, they will find that the internal slope angle is extremely large and is almost a gentle slope.
On the city wall, you can easily shoot at the enemies occupying the trenches without blind spots.
A red firework bomb rises into the sky, followed by a blue firework bomb. This is the order to free fire and fight.
Looking at the rebels surrounding them, Zhou Yuji said: "We still lack experience. The barbed wire fence is arranged too close. If we arrange it eighty meters away, we can create at least nine opportunities for the Lumi gunmen to fire."
"This kind of experience can only be gained after suffering losses on the battlefield. It cannot be predicted in advance." Huang Hao comforted.
At this time, shouts of killing were heard from up and down the city wall, and the sound of musketry came one after another.
A fierce battle has begun outside the steel city wall of the car camp.
The rebels saw that the wall was not high. It was only about four to five meters, and the ladder they sent up was too long and could not be used. He simply climbed up on top of each other.
The Lumi gunslingers had already put on their chainmails and the bucket helmets they bought from Yang Fan. Bucket helmets were the cheapest. Armed with simple knives, spears, long-handled axes, hammers and other weapons, they began to fight against each other.
The rebels in the city violently attacked and smashed the city.
The regiment training under the city wall aimed at the shooting port and fired outwards.
Outside the narrow shooting hole, figures were shaking, and enemies were everywhere, shouting and running around.
Soon the rebels discovered that these despicable guys were shooting at them below. They were not stupid either. They soon learned to duck down or move at high speed to avoid the gunfire.
But there were too many of them, and in many cases, even those in front would be shot if they escaped.
Huang Yugang and his small flags happened to be assigned to Gao Changlin and his team on this section of the city wall. Before, they ran very fast, and those who were not injured or killed were killed and ran away. All of them withdrew into the car camp. Now, they take turns allocating
He used a long wooden-handled ax to chop down the rebels who tried to climb up.
These axes are fire axes with wooden handles purchased from Yang Fan. The handles of these axes are painted red, and they are gleaming sharp axes that are not available in this era.
This thing is very good at breaking through armor. It can break through security doors without any problem if it breaks through the armor of this era.
Especially the curved handle, it is so comfortable to hold the chopper. I don’t know how it is designed to save effort and maximize the power. Of course, they don’t know the term ergonomics.
When I first purchased it from Yang Fan, I mainly considered it to be cheap and have excellent performance. This thing is a mass-produced product in modern times, so you can charge as much as you want. It is much cheaper than forging it yourself.
Zhang Laosan swung his fire ax and struck the ax on the shoulder of a general flagman who was climbing up. The sharp fire ax broke his scales in an instant. There was a full metal beast swallowed by the fireman on his shoulder.
The ax was cut directly in half, and then the shoulder bone and collarbone were completely chopped off.
Zhang Laosan used all his strength to pull out the ax stuck in the bone.
Blood spurted out, and the commander-in-chief screamed and turned over, falling to the ground with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers below shouted, bang bang bang! Five gunshots were fired. The rebels below fell down three people, and they were hit by muskets.
The ladder that I was climbing up on the front shoulder immediately collapsed and fell to the ground.
The people behind the rebels immediately counterattacked with three-eyed guns.
Bang bang bang! Although the three-eyed gun was at a distance of more than ten meters, the accuracy of this thing was too poor. It could not hit the shooting port at all. The lead bullet of the three-eyed gun hit the steel plate, making an ear-splitting noise.
The three millimeter hardened steel plate can easily block the crude lead bullet. The lead bullet is soft and the temperature is very high when it comes out of the chamber. The melting point of the lead bullet is low. Therefore, it is very soft and sticks directly to the steel plate.
Zhou Yuji saw through the telescope that the rebel rear group was carrying the impact logs.
