Chapter 201: Turning the Tide
Taking advantage of the chaos inside the No. 1 fortress, the Houjin army pressed on a large scale, and the Houjin soldiers in the trench gathered more and more, and the entire fortress was already surrounded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some of the Houjin soldiers could no longer resist the temptation of the promise they made to Sukh Saha and began to climb towards the fence.
It was the first time for Fort No. 1 to encounter such a thrilling situation, and the militia was a little flustered, but fortunately, the field troops and the officers sent to the militia units were able to stabilize their positions.
Those soldiers who were carried down by "life for life" are not sacrificed in the real sense, the Xuan army is the whole army in armor, as long as they go to the battlefield, even the cooking soldiers are wearing armor, coupled with the extremely strong medical ability of the Xuan army and Chen Xin, who is the biggest bug in this era, most of the Xuan soldiers who were carried down only temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.
The militiamen had never experienced such collective injuries, so they were a little flustered, but with the collective cooperation of their respective officers, veterans, and military justice teams, the situation inside the fort slowly recovered.
The most important thing is the Tiger Camp, who turned the tide at a critical moment.
The Tiger Battalion first chose the 2,000 Bayalas, these people are very good at archery, and with their participation in the operation of suppressing the firing port, the casualties of the Xuan army militia will not fall.
Despite being at an absolute numerical disadvantage and the fact that the enemy was still wearing three layers of heavy armor, these tiger ben still used the heavy bows in their hands to shoot at each other.
In the exchange of bows and arrows, most of the arrows on both sides are stuck in the heavy armor of the other party, and as long as they are not seriously injured, they insist on continuing to shoot.
Gradually, all the Bayalas were attracted to the attention of the counter-shooting here, archery is the most proud ability of these Jurchen elites, originally divided into hundreds of people and the opposite shooting, they already valued each other very much, but seeing that the hundreds of people on their side were actually pressed and beaten by the other party, they had suffered heavy losses, and the remaining Bayala began to search for the strong archers in those camps one by one.
More and more people fell, the tigers stood up, basically everyone had several feather arrows inserted into their bodies, at this time, it was time to compete for real skills, archery, mentality and both were indispensable, and it was impossible for the cowardly to participate in such a tragic battle.
The number of people who could stand on both sides dwindled, and finally, when there were only 200 men left in the Tiger battalion to continue shooting, the Bayala side had lost at least twice as many men, and this Bayala was an important force directly under Sukh Saha.
It is because of this force that Sukh Saha can command an army of more than 100,000 people, otherwise, even if this hairy boy is the commander appointed by Huang Taiji, the Jurchens who belong to different banners, and those scattered servant armies, how can they listen to him as a hairy boy.
Now that he had lost almost half of his elite, the leading officer's heart had already gone into arrest twice, and he was full of anger and helplessness when he saw the hundreds of soldiers who were almost hedgehog-like by arrows on the opposite hillside, and finally sighed and ordered a retreat.
The Bayalas used their horses as cover and shot at each other, and now almost all the horses were killed, and when they retreated, they could only walk, originally they thought that they could get out of danger by running quickly for a while, and when they reached 150 paces away, they scattered and walked.
Dressed in three layers of heavy armor, under the orders of the leading officer, the Bayalas dispersed and then ran violently, until they were at 200 paces before they stood still breathlessly, ready to rest here.
The pointed bullets of the Xuan army rifle ran out, the round lead bullet did not shoot accurately against the scattered humanoid targets 100 meters away, and the infantry artillery was also constantly bombarding the ordinary Houjin troops who rushed to the trench at this time, so at this distance, no ordinary Xuan army could cause damage to them for the time being.
But they didn't expect that the tiger ben in the Xuan army was not an ordinary person, the tiger ben's strong bow was a BUG-level weapon that could still maintain its head at 200 steps (300 meters), in the previous position, the Bayaras could compete with the tiger ben with the strong bow in their hands, but once the distance was widened, beyond their own accurate range, what awaited them was a nightmare.
The warriors of the Tiger Camp also saw that the enemy was going to rest, laughed with each other, put down their bows and arrows for the time being, replenished some arrows, and waited for those Bayalas to sit down, and then began to draw their bows with a wicked smile.
A round of carefully aimed and trimmed arrow rain instantly covered hundreds of bayalas, and the accuracy of the arrows shot slowly and methodically was not comparable to that of the barrage just now, and before the bayalas could react, most of this round of arrow rain accurately hit their heads.
Bayala's body can be equipped with three layers of armor, but it is impossible to wrap three layers on his head, and there is only a thin layer of iron helmet, how can he block the shooting of heavy arrows, almost chopsticks poking tofu, easy and abnormal.
The accurate long-range shot at a distance of 200 paces shocked these self-proclaimed most elite bayaras, but the physical reflexes brought about by years of fighting made them dodge before they could react.
It wasn't until the Tiger Battalion fired a second round of arrows and killed a few slower-reacting Bayalas that they realized the seriousness of the situation, they were trapped here, and there were so many strong archers aiming at them, that these Bayalas didn't dare to poke their heads out.
Known as the most elite of the Jin country, they were actually trapped in a small area with grievances, unable to advance or retreat, this feeling made them a little crazy.
The tigers aimed for a long time, but only shot a few unlucky eggs, and the others were better than monkeys one by one, hiding behind the bunker and not coming out at all.
The remaining soldiers of the Tiger Battalion were not disappointed, after all, suppressing the enemy out of the enemy's range was considered to have reduced a lot of pressure on their own side.
However, the tigers were unwilling to idle their combat power, so after assigning the task, they divided a small part to continue to suppress the remaining Bayara, and most of them focused their energy on the enemies who were still pouring into the trenches in front of the fence.
When hundreds of tiger ben with their hands free, when the rapid-fire mode is turned on, it is really a shock, ultra-long range, ultra-high accuracy, ultra-fast rate of fire, together it is not a simple 1+1+1, that is a qualitative change, just more than 100 tiger ben shot out of the rain of arrows, completely achieved the effect of a squadron of field troops with four-year rifle shooting.
In order to deter the enemy, the Tiger Ben battalion adopted a cruel method, that is, wounded but not killed, this immortality is not really not killed, the Tiger Ben just specially picked those parts that will not be fatal on the spot to shoot, and the cries of these people should be able to scare some enemies.
As for why this method is cruel, it is because in this era when people can die with a cold, the probability of dying after being injured by a cold weapon is very high, and most of them die from wound infection, which is much more cruel than being shot on the spot.
The fierce rain of arrows directly interrupted the crowd of people who rushed to the trench, and when the tragedy of the Houjin army being nailed to the ground continued to occur, the enemy began to dodge, when this kind of thing became more and more, and the crying of the Houjin army on the ground became louder and louder, this wave of enemies finally retreated, and the enemy in the trench temporarily had no reinforcements to support.
In this arduous battle, the Tiger Camp really turned the tide and pulled the No. 1 fortress back from the edge of the cliff.
Next, it's time to deal with the stubborn enemy in the trenches as quickly as possible.
