Chapter 738: Empty Gun
The Jiangning army suddenly began to assemble and approach Heisha Ridge, this move not only frightened the Qing army on Heisha Ridge, but also made the generals of the Liaodong Army behind nervous, and some people began to whisper.
"Why did the Jiangning army attack suddenly, although the artillery effect of Shicai was not bad, but the Qing army on the Heisha Ridge was not severely damaged, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large if it is attacked like this!"
"Who knows, maybe Jiang Ningjun has some skills that we don't know." Some people said with some skepticism.
Wu Sangui, who was mixed in with the generals, quietly came to Zu Dashou's side and asked quietly: "Uncle, is Jiang Ningjun so confident that he will take Heishaling in one fell swoop?" ”
Zu Dashou glanced at Wu Sangui and reprimanded: "Say less and see more, don't do too much." If the Jiangning Army can take Heishaling in one fell swoop, it is good, if it can't be taken, we can also find out the details of the army, understand? ”
Wu Sangui nodded approvingly, Jiang is still old and spicy, and what his uncle said is right.
If the Jiangning army's attack can be effective, it will naturally be good, and the Liaodong army can follow behind and take advantage of the situation to kill it, if the Jiangning army's attack is ineffective, and it will not lose a little, why not?
I have to say that the idea of Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui also represents the thoughts of most of the generals of the Liaodong Army, after all, people are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. However, there is also a small group of people who do not see it that way.
Seeing that Jiang Ningjun launched an attack so quickly, Sun Chengzong said to Yang Feng with a solemn expression: "Jiang Ninghou, is this move too reckless?" The Qing army did not receive heavy losses under the shelling just now, and besides, they still have a lot of guns and artillery, if they force an attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large! ”
"Yes, Master Hou."
Zhao Shujiao on the side also said with some worry: "The Tartars occupy a favorable position, we are a feint, and we are at a disadvantage congenitally." According to the general's shallow opinion, it is better for us to carry out a few more rounds of artillery bombardment before attacking. ”
A hint of relief flashed in Yang Feng's eyes, and he smiled and said, "Governors, General Zhao don't have to worry, Benhou naturally knows the power of firearms, but everything has limitations, and firearms are no exception." Moreover, this attack is just a temptation, so you don't have to worry. ”
"Temptation?"
Sun Chengzong and Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but look at each other, looking at the posture of the Jiangning army, this attack put in at least one battalion, that is, 5,000 troops, can you use such a big battle in a trial, I don't have enough to study, don't lie to me.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Yang Feng knew that the other party must be suspicious, so he smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Just as a few people were talking, a group of sergeants dressed in iron armor lined up in a neat formation, holding firearms, suddenly dispersed in a straggler formation, and then slowed down and slowly advanced towards the mountain.
After seeing the movements of the Jiangning Army, the generals of the Liaodong Army who were watching the battle in the back were all in an uproar, in their impression, the most important thing in the battle is the formation, once the formation is broken or broken, it is already equivalent to defeat.
And now that Jiang Ningjun has actually broken up the formation by himself, this move is tantamount to suicide in their eyes.
In fact, not only the generals of the Liaodong Army, but even the Qing army on the mountain was stunned by the actions of the Jiangning Army.
Although he was disgraced by the artillery fire of the Jiang Ning army just now, Du Du's eyes widened, and he grabbed Tong Yangxing's arm and said loudly: "Tong Yangxing, you immediately ordered to use artillery to blow up those Ming troops to me!" ”
"Lord Belle, no!" Tong Yangxing said with a bitter face: "Now that the Ming army is too close to us, and it is at the foot of the mountain, our artillery can't reach it at all." ”
"What, out of reach?"
Du Du couldn't help but be furious, but he quickly lowered his voice and said angrily: "Since the artillery can't be hit, but the firecrackers that Your Majesty spent a lot of money to supply can always be beaten, don't tell me that the firecrackers in your hands are all kind of goods." ”
"I understand!"
Tong Yangxing gritted his teeth and shouted, "Pass my general order, all the firearms battalions assemble and enter the trench!" ”
With Tong Yangxing's order, the firecrackers who were originally hiding everywhere were summoned by officers at all levels and entered the preset trench.
Watching a firecracker in light armor enter the position from afar, the generals of the Liaodong Army who were watching the battle from a distance all became nervous.
Since they were equipped with the Brown Bess Firecrackers provided by Yang Feng, the generals of the Liaodong Army, who were originally prejudiced against the Firearms, finally realized the power of firearms, and the effective range of the Brown Besil Firearms provided by Yang Feng could reach 80 to 100 meters.
At a distance of 100 meters, it can penetrate a layer of armor, and at a distance of 60 meters, even a horse armor soldier wearing three layers of heavy armor can't block the attack of lead bullets, and the end is extremely powerful.
Now that the Qing army is condescending again, and the Liaodong army is attacking from the back, it is naturally at a disadvantage, and it seems that the Jiangning army is going to suffer a big loss.
Everyone didn't even dare to breathe, those with clairvoyance were nervously observing the movement on the Black Sand Ridge, and those without clairvoyance could only widen their eyes and observe with the naked eye.
"If you go up, Jiang Ningjun will be halfway up the mountain." An eyed officer suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
"Rush up...... Rush up ......"
Many people stared at the mountainside, clenched their fists, and kept whispering in their mouths.
On the Black Sand Ridge, many Qing soldiers held weapons in their hands, looking at the Jiang Ning army who was slowly pressing up from the foot of the mountain, their eyes showed puzzlement, why didn't they launch a counterattack, wouldn't it be bad if they let the Jiang Ning army come up?
"Bang ......"
A low sound of fire broke the silence, and with the sound of this gunshot, the sound of fried beans suddenly sounded halfway up the mountainside, accompanied by bursts of thick white smoke, and lead bullets shot quickly towards the foot of the mountain.
"Be careful...... Evade forward! ”
Halfway up the mountain, a general manager who was bending down and carefully advancing shouted loudly, and with his voice, the sergeants around him bent their waists lower, and many people kept relying on the cover to cross forward.
This offensive action of the Jiangning army not only stunned the generals of the Liaodong Army under the mountain, but also surprised Du Du on the mountain, because he found that the first wave of shooting just now did not cause much damage to the Jiangning army, and only a few unlucky sergeants were hit, and then they were quickly carried down.
"Tong Yangxing, this stupid person, how did he train as a soldier, thousands of people fired together, and they only hit so many people, could it be that they are all blind?"
In fact, what Du Du didn't know was that Tong Yangxing in the distance was also scolding his mother.
"Bastard, who fired the fire first just now, stand up, Lao Tzu is going to skin him!"
In fact, the shooting just now was not an order from Tong Yangxing, but I don't know which guy missed and pulled the trigger, and as a result, the already nervous firecrackers around him also opened fire.
He could clearly see that the Jiangning Army was still more than 100 meters away from his own firing position, and after the projectile flew there at such a long distance, there was not much lethality left at all, which was equivalent to a collective empty shot in this round.
