Chapter 269: Attack on the Camp 3

readx;???“ Fire! As the gunner stuffed the torch into the cannon's cauldron, the muzzle of the gun flashed, and the smoke erupted, and a dense rain of bullets suddenly shot at the New Army soldiers in the open area outside the wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The shotgun that was sprayed out was no better than the bowling ball, and it was impossible to see or estimate the trajectory, and whether it could not be hit was almost entirely up to luck, and more than a dozen new troops suddenly fell in the array of new troops at the front before they had time to turn. Because Qian Longzhou was standing on the far left side of the queue, quite far away from the wall where the cannon was fired, he was not hit by the shotgun just now. But still because of nervousness, the whole back has been wet with sweat, and the cigarette in his mouth is about to burn to his mouth, and now although the cigarette in his mouth feels a little hot, he still stares sideways at the city as if he has no sense.

This military camp was built under the supervision of Qian Longzhou, and at that time, with the financial and material support of the princess, everything was used to the best. The walls are filled with rammed loess with a layer of green bricks on the outside. The trail above is paved with bluestone slabs, and in order to facilitate the convenience of future combat, gun emplacements are specially set up at the four corners. But Qian Longzhou never expected that he would now become the one who attacked this guard city, and the enemy of the new army was entrenched in the city at this time, and the cannon they had just dragged in had not been fired by rifles because it had entered the area covered by the city wall, and had quickly completed the loading of the two six-pounder guns, and pushed it up to the city head along the slope specially built to facilitate the cannons to go to the city, and began to fire at the new army and the army condescendingly.

The new troops, who were only 130 or 40 meters away from the city walls, were the first to be fired by shotguns and suffered considerable casualties. Since they had never fought against artillery since the founding of the army, and now they were suddenly hit by a shotgun, and suddenly there was restlessness, even if Qian Longzhou didn't move now, he couldn't suppress the troops. And everyone could see that the forbidden army on the wall was busy loading the shells, and when they finished it, it would definitely be another cannon, and the soldiers were a little overwhelmed at the moment, and the originally neat firing array suddenly became crooked.

"Shoot! Suppress the wall! Liu Lihua roared, his right hand pointed at a gun emplacement at the head of the wall, and suddenly a burst of firing erupted in his array.

The soldiers on the gun emplacement, who were originally looking out of the battlements, were shot several times and lay crookedly next to the gun emplacement, blood splashing everywhere. Many of the gunners on the side were also shot, and the things in their hands were scattered all over the ground, and the few people who were not shot next to them were so frightened that they threw away the things in their hands and hid behind the shield. There were corpses lying everywhere on the gun emplacements, and loading tools and ammunition were scattered all over the ground.

"Quick!" A small colonel brandished a large knife and shouted loudly: "Reload quickly!" Now only artillery can hit them! Stunned, he drove out a few more gunners who were hiding behind the shields.

"You! Keep an eye on the rebels, and if they fire their guns in this direction, call us! The colonel pointed to a helpless soldier on the side and shouted. Keep an eye on it, if the rebels let go, they must call us! ”

Although these "muskets" can shoot at a long distance, the bullet speed of using black gunpowder as propellant is still lower than that of cotton propellant. At present, the distance between the head of the city and the army array is a full three or four hundred meters, and it takes about a second for the bullet to be fired from the moment it hits.

"Released!" The little soldier's eyes were sharp, and he saw a burst of gunpowder smoke spewing out of the blue military uniform array in the distance, and hurriedly shouted and lay down under the female wall. Although the soldiers next to him were constantly reloading, they were all absent-minded, and they were always paying attention to the little soldier who was acting as a lookout. Now I heard that the guns were released, and they all threw away the things in their hands quickly, either drilling under the women's wall or shrinking behind the shield, although they looked embarrassed, and the tools and ammunition were also scattered, but they really didn't even hit a single one. When the sound of a crackling rain of bullets hitting the blue brick walls and shields was heard, the gunners, who felt that they had escaped death, cheered one by one, and now they had a way to avoid the fire of the rebels, and they worked very energetically, and began to load the cannons again.

"Oops!" The cigarette butt on Qian Longzhou's mouth finally burned to his mouth, and he hurriedly spit the cigarette butt to the ground and shouted loudly, "Go back!" Go back! Back to the edge of the forest! ”

The forest is more than 300 meters away from the city, and this kind of six-pounder cannon money dragon boat is also relatively familiar at present, except that the loading of solid shells may be able to hit about 400 meters, and the distance of the shotgun is about less than 200 meters. It's basically safe to retreat to the edge of the forest, as long as you keep an eye on the spot and don't get hit by the bowling ball.

Seeing that the soldiers of the new army turned around one by one and dragged the wounded and ran quickly into the distance, the forbidden army on the head of the city and some of the box troops who had fled into the barracks were all shouting loudly, as if they had successfully defended the city. As a result, I didn't expect that the third company of the army, which was about 300 meters away, fired a salvo at the city again, and knocked over more than ten more on the spot.

"Liu Lihua! Withdraw your troops first! Qian Longzhou's call came from the walkie-talkie, and Qian Longzhou was gently rubbing the bubbles that had just been burned out of his mouth at this time, feeling aggrieved in his stomach.

"Okay, another salvo!" Before he could finish speaking, there was a flash of fire in the city, followed by the sound of cannons, and another black bowling ball flew towards the army's array. When Liu Lihua spoke, he felt that the direction of the cannonball's flight seemed to be aimed at him, and he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he immediately soaked his back in a cold sweat. Although this cannonball seems to fly slowly, the kinetic energy on it is terrifying, although it looks like it is bouncing and rolling forward on the ground, it can sweep down all creatures in its path, especially for the current dense array that will be swept out of a bloody alley once it is hit.

Liu Lihua suddenly felt that he wanted to pee, but because he couldn't move around because of his old image, he had to stare at the bowling ball jumping on the mud for a while, to see if his reaction speed was enough. With a burst of gunfire, a dense stream of bullets swept across the city again, but the enemies who were not afraid of death were basically dead, and the rest were the enemies who did not dare to probe, so this shot did not cause much damage. In contrast, the round shell that plunged into the army array in the next second was much more ruthless, and the six soldiers were killed in their positions on the spot, blood and body fragments were shot everywhere, and Liu Lihua's face was splashed on his face.

"Go back! Go back! Liu Lihua hurriedly turned around and shouted loudly, the soles of his feet were soft, and when he looked down, he didn't know whose hand fell to the ground, and he felt an irrepressible feeling of vomiting at that time. But before he could spit it out, a soldier covered in blood grabbed him while screaming, "Help me!" Help me! I can't see it anymore! ”

Liu Lihua looked at it, and it turned out that the soldier's eyes were covered with blood, and he couldn't see anything, so he grabbed everywhere in a panic. He hurriedly grabbed the soldier with one hand and ran quickly into the woods.

"Why hasn't the tank come up yet!" The roar of Qian Longzhou came from the walkie-talkie, and Ma Linming, who heard the voice, was aggrieved. It wasn't that he didn't want to hurry up, but in this dense woods, the distance from the river to the camp was about a kilometer or two, and although there were automatic logging machines in front of him, it was not much faster, and he had only advanced a little more than a kilometer in two hours. And because the suspension of the tank is completely rigid, the crew members inside have already gone down on foot, and several crew members inside are confused one by one by the bumps and bumps. This is also under the condition that there are simple roads, and the automatic logging machine in front will cut the felled trees into small sections of about four meters and lay them directly on the ground, and both tanks and vehicles can drive on such roads. The plan was to keep the tanks as close as possible to the edge of the woods during the day, and to turn on the searchlights at night to cover the infantry charge. But who knew that the plan could not catch up with the changes, and in order to disrupt the slaughter plan of the Annam army, the infantry of the Forces nouvelles and the army had to start the operation ten hours earlier.

But no one expected that the artillery of the Praetorian Army would find a way to bridge the gap between the firepower of the two sides so quickly, and soon succeeded in inflicting casualties on the attacking Forces nouvelles and the Senate Army. At this time, although the infantry had withdrawn to the woods, and the artillery at the head of the city could no longer shoot accurately, it was difficult for the infantry hiding in the woods to shoot at a target about the size of a man at the head of the city about 400 meters with the rifles in their hands. For a while, neither side could threaten anyone.

Of course, there are always some exceptions, but at the moment, the special investigation team has two sniper rifles in them, and the sniper rifles with a range of 800 meters are the perfect time to exert their power at this distance, and the two naturalized snipers immediately began to snipe under the guidance of the veteran observer on the side. "Distance! Four hundred and thirty-five meters, the artillery position at the head of the city on the west side, the young general wearing a helmet, no wind. ”

"See the target." It didn't take the sniper half a second to find the target, and the target in the scope was too conspicuous, and the Annan soldiers, who saw the enemy fleeing into the woods, felt that there was no threat at all at this time, and got carried away and pointed at this side of the battlement. This young general is actually just a hundred households, but in order to show off his identity, he specially wore a bright silver armor, which can be more clear in the sniper's scope at this time.

"Steady!" The observer said, and after half a second, convinced that the target would not move, he immediately gave a gentle order: "Shoot when you are ready!" ”

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, the barrel length of this 24 sniper rifle of the old time and space is not as long as that of the Senate rifle and the 1628 rifle, but the effect of the particle propellant used is far greater than that of black gunpowder, so the gunfire is far more crisp than that of ordinary rifles.

The little colonel in the observation mirror suddenly splashed blood behind him, hugged his chest and shook a few steps on the wall, and then climbed over the female wall and fell directly outside the city. Almost at the same time, there was another crack of a rifle not far away, and in the distance, a guy dressed as an officer with a flagpole in his hand fell straight down the trail into the city.

The soldiers at the head of the city were suddenly frightened, they could still hit the people they wanted to hit so accurately at such a distance, and they hid behind the female wall again in horror, just quietly looking out.

"Load the gun!" A young general half-knelt behind the female wall, brandished a long knife, and shouted loudly at a few gunners who were still pouting their butts and lying on the ground, but before the words fell, with a "poof" sound, a bullet hit the green brick next to him, and the broken stone fragments were like a pile of shotguns, directly sweeping him down and the three or four soldiers next to him. At this time, the people at the head of the city no longer dared to be so rampant, and they all hid behind the female wall and no longer dared to move, and no one looked out to see the situation outside.

The men at the head of the city were huddled behind the wall, while the infantry in the woods waited for the tanks. The two sides fell into an eerie silence for a moment, and there was no sound except for the crisp sound of gunfire from time to time.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Ruan Mingfang lifted the sedan curtain from time to time to urge the sedan chair driver, and in front of him was a team of 100 people, an unlucky ghost who was temporarily found from the city guard's mansion. You must know that as soon as they heard that it was the new army attacking the barracks, the city guards shirked again and again, unwilling to send troops out to die. Ruan Mingfang had to move his official authority, so he called almost 500 people to come over to reinforce the prisoner camp, you must know that the city guard told him that there are only so many troops available in the entire port of Zhancheng at the moment, and the rest, I am afraid that it will not be enough to defend the city.

These reinforcements also knew that they were going to reinforce the prisoner camp, who would dare to deal with the new army that had beaten the port of Champa to ashes some time ago? This large group of people stopped and stopped all the way, and they didn't reach it for an hour.

As the gunfire in front gradually subsided, the reinforcements also felt that the gunfire was no longer ringing, and they didn't know whether the Annan army had won or lost in front, and the more they went, the more worried they became. The soldiers who served as scouts rode up and down in front of them to explore the way, fearing that they would encounter the new army.

The eunuch's sedan chair followed Ruan Mingfang's sedan chair, he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, if he wanted to say that the new army and the official army were fighting, although he was the emperor's banner, but who could take care of the banner if he really fought? If you are unlucky and are flattened by the new army, where can you reason with this? Just as he was thinking, the team in front suddenly stopped, and a noise came, "What? The rebels were defeated and fled? ”

"Ahh That's great! The rebels have fled! Go cover up for a while! ”

It turned out that the new army was defeated and retreated! The eunuch was relieved, he was happy to see this, anyway, the official army won the battle, this is still the place of the official army, he stepped forward to announce a decree, and the two sides reconciled according to the emperor's will, even if he gained fame and fortune. But Ruan Mingfang's heart jumped, he didn't know how the combat effectiveness of the new army was, although the new army had been defeated and fled, but it would definitely be too late to slaughter the prisoners of war, if these new army prisoners of war were really released, his previous calculations would be in vain, and he couldn't help but start thinking about how to slow down the speed of going to the prisoner camp.
