Chapter 612: Powerful Firepower

Chen Xin had long known that the armaments on the Ming side were very unreliable, so after receiving the support of Dongjiang Town, he immediately gave all those things to the armed guard troops.

Now, looking at a rocket that suddenly flew over him, he was a little worried.

For these inferior rockets from Daming, even if they have been prepared, they didn't expect that they would be so unreliable.

He was a little uneasy about the rocket that was fired at his rear, and turned his head to look to the side, because there was a fixed artillery firing position next to him.

The gun emplacement was a gap in the rammed earth wall, in front of which a bamboo basket more than one person high was filled with earth to serve as a cover and support, and at the bottom were neatly stacked about half a person's height of earth bags.

Behind the gun emplacements was a semi-circular clearing, and then a zigzag tunnel.

A few meters behind the gun emplacement, there was a powder magazine covered with wooden boards and a small ammunition magazine, where all the ammunition needed for the gun emplacement was temporarily stored.

After a closer look, Chen Xin found that the protection of the powder magazine was still very tight, and it would not be ignited by the scurrying rockets, so he was finally a little relieved.

At this time, Zachdan's command flag was constantly waving, and the infantry battalion on the left flank responded to the flag of the brigade headquarters with the flag, and the right flank direction was also responding.

After the sound of a war drum, several special service platoons belonging to different battalions rushed out of the wide passages of the Lushun defense line at the same time, and they ran from the passage to the outermost trench.

Then, without hesitation, the elite warriors jumped into the half-man-high curved trench and fired at the men and horses of the Houjin army, who had lost their cover, with pump-action rifles loaded with bayonets in their hands.

Although the number of special agents is scarce, they are equipped with pump-action rifles, and they use extremely dense gun platoon tactics to make those soldiers of the Later Jin Army no longer have the time to fill the holes.

Whether it was the Tartars or the Mongol archers, the Han soldiers, and even the most worthless clothed minions, they all went to hide behind the remaining shield carts and parts of various sizes.

The archers flickered between the shield carts, shooting at the Chinese soldiers with only one head exposed.

A group of coats were escorted by a few bayalas who pressed the formation, and rushed to the side of the lonely small-caliber copper cannon, and they used the coats as bait to attract the attention of the soldiers of the Chinese army.

After a volley of fires from the soldiers of the special service platoon on the opposite side, the dense coated queue that was pushed out as a decoy suddenly let out continuous screams.

The two smoothbore howitzers on the rammed earth wall also fired in that direction, and the heavy shells pierced the entire crowd, and in the flesh and blood channel that the shells plowed, none of the coated limbs were still intact.

As a result, the small-caliber bronze infantry cannon was almost surrounded by broken limbs that had fallen to the periphery.

Such a ferocious fire blow caused the few remaining Baoyi to flee in all directions, but unfortunately, according to the military discipline of the Tartars, they were not allowed to escape, and they had only one way to die there.

Therefore, as long as the coats who turned around and fled, all of them were targeted, and the fastest ones were naturally the first to be shot to death by the bows and arrows of the Houjin army.

Immediately after, another group of coats, sent by the Tartars who supervised the war, wanted to push the small-caliber copper infantry cannon and try to remove the cannon.

But by this moment, the corpses piled up around the cannon, as well as the scattered wooden parts, had been piled up to more than half the height of the wheels.

Now, not to mention mobile artillery, it is very difficult for them to even walk in this area, so this batch of coatings is once again like a target, and it has been wiped out by both Huaxia and Houjin.

At this moment, the lives of the coats who are cannon fodder seem so humble and worthless in the constant firepower between the opposing sides, and even they are so humble that they are only worth a wooden skewer that was blown out by a cannonball.

After such a long period of actual combat, the Chinese artillerymen on the earthen wall once again accelerated the rate of fire, and the fragments after the shield car was broken were like bullets, which was much more powerful than the solid bullets fired by the smoothbore guns.

Finally, the generals of the Houjin side could not bear this heavy casualties, and two golden sounds came from their rear formation, and the Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Banner that pressed the formation took the lead in retreating to the rear.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the Houjin Army on the front line retreated like a tide with the banner of Gushan Ezhen.

A trumpet also sounded on the rammed earth wall of the Lushun defense line, and under the loud command of several officers, the soldiers of the special service platoon, followed the non-commissioned officers in front, jumped out of the trench together.

After lining up to pass through the remaining potholes that had not been filled by the coaters brought by the Houjin army, the soldiers rushed to the position of the shield car front with a shout.

They chased the retreating Tartars with pump-action rifles, and then, with the bayonets on their rifles, and the sabers in their hands, killed all the wounded enemy soldiers on the ground.

Zachdan's banner waved again, and hundreds of auxiliaries rushed out of the passage, all carrying shovels and hoes on their backs, and waist knives in their hands.

The auxiliaries walked directly through the passage, rushed to the location of the shield cart, and then quickly harvested the heads of the Tartars with their waist knives, whether they were alive or dead, all of them were cut off with a single sword.

Some scouts rode out of the passage on both wings, roaming around the battlefield in the same place, and then took a look at the scattered enemy heads in the surrounding area. These, on the side of Daming, can be exchanged for white flowers and silver.

Chen Xin said with a faint smile: "In front of this position, with the powerful firepower and tactics of our army, the Houjin Tartars will definitely not be able to fight us." ”

At this time, Zakdan also let out a long breath, although since the year before last, he was photographed by Chen Xin and led the army alone, but this time it was completely different.

With those coats and slaves, that's an enemy army of nearly 200,000 men.

It was the first time he had commanded such a large-scale battle.

Therefore, during this period of time, the pressure in his heart is still very huge, and his spirit has always been highly tense, and he can't sleep peacefully at night.

Now as soon as Chen Xin arrived, Zachdan settled down as if he had a backbone, and even the nervous mood before was relieved a lot.

Zachdan came over and happily greeted Chen Xin, without any more politeness, Zachdan directly reported to Chen Xin.
