Chapter 623: Pretending to be Dead
The two sides continued to engage in a tug-of-war where the two rammed earth walls had collapsed.
For a while, it was the Huaxia Army that beat the Houjin Army out, and for a while, it was the Houjin Army that rushed back into the gap.
However, the speed at which the rammed earth wall was demolished was a bit too fast, which caught the Huaxia army a little off guard, and it was too late to draw troops to support, and the Houjin army had already chosen this place as the main direction of attack, so Houjin finally relied on the numerical advantage to gain the upper hand in the gap.
In addition, the Jurchen armor soldiers in other places also used ladders to climb the rammed earth wall one after another, delaying the pace of support from the Huaxia army, so that more and more Jurchen armor soldiers poured into the first line of defense of Lushun from the gap.
Another group of people, about a Niu Lu and more than 300 armored soldiers and Bayala, jumped out of the trench in the direction of Houjin, and rushed through the battlefield in the middle like wild beasts.
Watching batch after batch of Houjin troops disappear into the rammed earth wall over there, Lai Zi clenched his fists and almost slammed into the ground several times, and he didn't know who he was worried about now.
Are the masters of Houjin? Or the compatriots on the other side with Huaxia as the country name! He didn't know at all.
Han troops armed with bird guns and heavily armed Tartars passed through here in an endless stream, and the Tartars on both flanks had also discovered the fact that they had broken through here, and they began to spontaneously concentrate here.
While there was a fierce exchange of fire inside the rammed earth wall, and the enemy and us were constantly fighting for the gap, the Houjin auxiliaries continued to work hard, and they further widened the two gaps.
On the rear Jin army front, horns and conch horns sounded one after another, obviously, it was the Jurchen high-level leaders behind who also discovered the situation here and were sending more people here.
The sound of guns and explosions on the entire front was as noisy as frying beans; Laizi didn't know what this battle was like now, if the entire front was the same as here, then Lushun might really be captured by the Tartars.
Some scattered Jurchen armor soldiers fled back from the entrance of the passage, but before they could cross the trench, they were shot dead by the overseers who guarded the trench, and several Paishku appeared on the wall here, roaring and shouting, not allowing the soldiers to escape.
At this time, another group of about 300 Han soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and they were holding a strange bird gun in their hands, which was about half the height of the sweat wiping year shorter than the normal bird gun, which made Lai Zi very curious.
After these Han soldiers climbed the rammed earth wall, they fired a continuous burst of ping-pong shooting, and after the shooting, they stood on the top of the wall and continued to reload and shoot.
There was no breastwall in the direction of the Lushun Line facing west, and the birds were constantly hit by projectiles from the opposite side, and then fell down the rammed earth wall, becoming part of the pile of corpses under the corner.
The sound of shouting and killing inside the rammed earth wall resounded in the sky, and the smoke behind it also rose with the sound of gunfire one after another.
Yoriko didn't know what kind of killing hell it would look like, and with his illiterate life and having never seen an army go head-to-head, he couldn't imagine what it would be like there. The pile of corpses outside can only be used as an imaginary counterpart.
Just as Lai Zi was thinking wildly, he heard several fierce artillery firing sounds from behind the rammed earth wall of the Lushun Defense Line, and then there was the strange and short sound of the military horn, which seemed to be the charge of the Huaxia Army.
As the trumpet sounded, there was also a violent rush like a tide, and Laizi opened his mouth wide as he watched more and more Jurchen Baya's shining armored figures appear on the rammed earth wall, completely looking like they were about to be beaten back.
Then, another new force of Jurchen armor soldiers was put into that gap, this group of people and horses has at least two Niu Lu more than 600 people, Lai Zi is not very sensitive to numbers, he boldly guessed, there may even be more than 700 people.
Instead of winding their way through the trench to approach the battlefield in front of them, they chose to pass directly through the open ground quickly, and soon they ran to the edge of the trench of the Huaxia army on the opposite side.
The corpses of the Houjin coats and auxiliaries there have been piled up, and the trenches dug by the Huaxia army have also been filled with wider passages.
This group of Houjin soldiers ran in front of Laizi densely, very conspicuous, and the artillery fire around and on the head of Lushun City naturally saw them a long time ago, so the artillery forces that were idle and did not dare to bombard the gap between the enemy and us were shooting here at this time.
Solid round iron bullets, shotguns, grape bullets and other shells continued to fly in this group of people, and the severed arms and stumps also flew around with steel and lead.
Under such a fierce firepower, those Jurchen armor soldiers did not dare to stay for a moment, and they all ran away desperately under the urging of the Bayalas, and no one bothered to take a look around, so naturally no one found out about Laizi's existence.
On the rammed earth walls of the Huaxia army on both wings, more figures wearing pale yellow military uniforms appeared, and they tried to attack along the narrow passage of the rammed earth wall, trying to re-cut the passage of the Houjin soldiers to the back of the rammed earth wall.
The newly arrived armor soldiers immediately discovered this situation and began to suppress those Huaxia soldiers with bows and arrows, and the dense bowstring vibration was as frightening as a swarm of bees passing by.
In the rammed earth wall, the cannon fire of the Huaxia army also sounded one after another, and even after a few cannon sounds, rows of Jurchen armor soldiers and Han soldiers would fall down on the rammed earth wall, squirming and wailing under the rammed earth wall, stimulating the nerves of all the Jurchen soldiers who passed through the passage.
Yoriko buried his head deep in the place where he was hiding, he couldn't go anywhere now, and it was very conspicuous for a single person to suddenly appear on the battlefield, which was much more conspicuous than a group of people.
Moreover, if you choose to go back to the back, you will be hacked to death by the Pashku and Bayala who are overseeing the battle in the rear. But if you go forward, it's a complete Shura hell.
The clothiers who came with him with Niu Lu were almost dead and wounded, and even the Mongols who were cobbled together by the outer Mongolians and the left and right wings of Mongolia had already been killed and wounded.
Yoriko herself is really not confident that she can survive this kind of battlefield.
Lai Zi thought about it, it seems that he has been so good for a long time, and he has never seen Jin Zhong's figure, it seems that he was planted in front of the trench of the Huaxia Army when he hit the rammed earth wall in the first wave, and he should have been killed by the rifle of the Huaxia Army.
Lai Zi didn't have any sad thoughts in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he had already figured it out, and he could be sure that it must be a dead end to go forward.
So Laizi can only hide here and pretend to be dead now.
