Chapter 192: A Minute of Madness
There are not many elite marksmen in the Xuan army, and the elite marksmen not only need a lot of training, but also have excellent talents, and ordinary people can't do this, so most of the dead enemies at a distance of 400 meters are killed by artillery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of the two types of artillery that are now constantly firing, the main purpose of the infantry guns is not to have a post-Kim man, but to try to stop the enemy's heavy vehicles that can defend against musket buckshot. As a result, most of the damage was done by the navy's long-barreled heavy artillery.
Fort No. 1 has five naval long-barreled heavy guns, but only one of them has been firing all the time, and the rest of the guns are just ready to fire and are preparing on both sides of the fort.
When Houjin entered 200 meters, more than 100 soldiers of the 1st Squadron and 1st Company of the 1st Mixed Brigade began to shoot, and the accuracy of the four-year rifle at a distance of 200 meters was terrifying.
The enemy showed no signs of weakness, and Houjin's longbowmen began to shoot with their bows and arrows at this distance. It caused a certain amount of interference to the Xuan army.
Some of the small cannons carried by the Houjin army also joined the battle group at this time, these small cannons are not uniform in size, weight and caliber, and the number is not large, and they are also the priority targets of each unit to destroy, but because they are light and flexible, there is still one that enters the range of 200 meters.
Dozens of shots of "boom" hit the fence made of logs, most of them embedded in the wood, a small part hit the sandbags piled up in the lower half of the fence, and one passed through the gap in the fence and hit the cuirass of a soldier.
The stone with strong kinetic energy smashed the bulletproof insert, knocking the soldier to the ground, and the comrades next to him immediately stepped forward to check, the stone had been shattered, and the insert board also dented a small hole.
The man immediately called out for "ambulance." ”
The ambulance soldier came to the wounded soldier's side, untied the body armor on the wounded soldier's body armor through the quick-release steel wire, groped carefully for a while, and said with a sigh of relief, "It's not a big deal, the impact is too great, and I need to recuperate for a while." ”
After that, he beckoned the ambulance soldiers behind him to bring a stretcher, and together the wounded were sent to the hospital.
The Franc cannon was targeted after firing a single shot, and the two infantry guns and three good marksmen fired at it, turning the area into a no-man's land.
Eventually, the Houjin team advanced to a distance of 100 meters from the trench, and the scattered gunfire turned into a salvo, and the arquebuses of the militia units joined the firing procession.
In an instant, the Koreans at the front of the queue fell down in rows, the front was bleeding like a river, and the bird-gunners in the back also began to shoot, and some of the better archery skills also kept aiming at the fence firing port to release cold arrows.
The two sides began to shoot at each other, but the outnumbered Houjin army was still advancing.
The 300-metre-long fence in the middle is slightly slower. Several corpses had to be dropped every time they moved, although most of them were South Korean civilians, but under the three-dimensional blow of Houjin, the casualties of Houjin's officers and soldiers were not small.
The enemy was advancing a little faster on both sides beyond the fence's firing range, and the men on both sides were already approaching the fence, but with a loud trumpet, the defenders from the flanks of Fort No. 1, that is, the west and east, also began to shoot.
The explosion of gunpowder instantly increased several times, and the attacking troops hiding on the two flanks of the Houjin army suffered heavy losses in an instant. All of a sudden, their speed slowed down.
Although there were heavy casualties, the Houjin army, which had a large number of Korean civilians as meat shields, was still moving forward, and those Koreans had been overwhelmed several times by the loud noise and the tragedy of the battlefield, but Houjin was definitely a master of using cannon fodder, and there was always a way to drive these civilians back to the front.
Finally, the distance between the two sides was shortened to 80 meters, at this distance, the Houjin army could no longer advance, and the platoon of guns fired again and again, nailing the enemy firmly here, and the corpses on the ground had been piled up into a line, and the Houjin soldiers were hiding in the bunker composed of corpses and residual shield vehicles, constantly shooting inside.
The militiamen inside the fence, after a few rounds of shooting, slowly stabilized their mood, and their accuracy and rate of fire began to increase steadily.
When the two sides on the front line were in a stalemate, firing at each other, the cavalry troops that had stayed 5,000 meters in the rear were finally launched.
In less than 5 minutes, these thousands of cavalry had already rushed through the blockade of several artillery pieces and came to the front line where they were being fired, that is, 50 meters from the fence. Then the men immediately turned over and dismounted, picked up the heavy bow stuck in their horses, and began a stormy fire.
The narrow shooting holes became the focus of these skilled Jurchen cavalry, and the casualties of the Xuan army immediately increased significantly.
This is exactly the trick commonly used by Hou Jin, as a Xuan army split from within Hou Jin, he is very familiar with this set, and many methods have not been used before, just waiting for these cavalry.
With the sound of the command, the infantry gun and the navy heavy gun immediately replaced with shotguns and quickly fired towards their respective calibrated sectors, and the infantry guns, which had been firing at a slow speed, began to show their rapid rate of fire at this time.
In the past, the chamber of the gun was cleaned every time it was fired, but now after it was converted to rapid fire, this step was directly omitted, and within a minute, the five infantry guns fired a total of 40 shotguns, each of which was filled with hundreds of tiny iron bullets, and 40 rounds were 40,000 steel balls, which was simply an iron rain.
At the same time as the infantry artillery was fired, each launch port was blocked by a bazooka, one of which was 120 feathered arrows, and a full 100 bazookas, which was 12,000 feathered arrows.
These 12,000 feathered arrows directly swept away the enemies in the front rows of the entire fan, plus the 40,000 steel balls fired from the condescending plane, swept through the densely populated areas in the middle.
This is the "Crazy Minute" tactic of the Xuan Army, if it is in the field, it will also add the four-year rifle of the field army to fire a crazy volley, and now due to the lack of firing positions, it can only be improvised.
Because infantry guns and four-year rifles use black powder, which is very corrosive, and this unclear rapid-fire method will cause greater damage to artillery and rifles, this tactic is not commonly used, and will only be used against cavalry or when there is a golden opportunity like today.
By the time this crazy 1 minute passed, the infantry guns began to cool down and clear, and the bazookas were fired to the rear to reload, and the entire enemy frontal position had been swept away seventy percent of the enemy troops.
The remaining enemy troops, standing on the battlefield full of blood, were already shocked and unable to move, and the Houjin army, whose wings were still firing at the Xuan army, was also a little overwhelmed.
Of course, the Xuan army himself did not hesitate, and above the superior marksman, he used his rifles to grab the roll call of the remaining enemy troops in front of him, and the rest of the soldiers aimed their muzzles and muzzles at the enemy troops on both flanks and joined the ranks of the fire.
A sound of gold came from the direction of the Houjin camp, and the remaining Houjin army breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and began to run desperately towards the rear.
The first large-scale positional battle between the Xuan army and the Houjin army came to an end.
