Finally it's time for hand-to-hand combat, "Rifle shooting!" Huang Hansheng shouted and ordered. Pen·Fun·Pavilion www.biquge.info ̄)]sんц閣浼镄嗹載尛裞閲渎棢つww%w.%ā81

The smoke from the artillery was so thick that no one could see the target clearly, and the convoy could only shoot downwards by feeling, and then load, shoot, load, shoot...... Many of the team members were afraid that someone would suddenly come out of the smoke and slash at them with knives and axes, but the rigorous training made them numb and repeat the action of loading and shooting.

The gunshots rang out one after another, and many people were shot and fell down without getting close to the trench, and some people retreated, but He Rubin had already sent 2,000 men and horses to rush over, and the tumbling flow of people filled the battlefield again, and the rear team swooped forward against the front team.

"Kill the trench to reward five taels of silver, and climb the wall to reward ten taels!" Several officers rode along the already chaotic ranks of officers and troops, shouting and encouraging morale.

"Give it all to Lao Tzu! The thief will be rewarded with two taels of silver, the leader of the thief will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and those who cower and retreat will be killed! ”

The guerrilla general Wang Daoji took the lead and rushed to the front, half of the family members and personal soldiers around him had been killed and wounded, and the flag officer had also been replaced, but he was still the first to bring the team to the edge of the trench. Some archers were already shooting a dense barrage of arrows at the edge of the trenches, and the first waves of casualties appeared on the earthen fort.

Sue's thick legs were almost deafened by the sound of gunfire. He watched five or six feathered arrows shoot out of the smoke, and several of them hit his companions, and one of them fell off the earthen embankment with a muffled grunt, and was cut down in an instant by the officers and soldiers below. He was stunned for a moment, and Huang Hansheng's roar came from behind him: "Keep shooting, don't stop!" Hearing this, he quickly loaded his ammunition and continued to shoot.

A gust of sea breeze blew and dispersed the thick smoke of gunpowder. When they arrived at the edge of the trench, the Ming soldiers who were filling the ditch with arrows fell into the trench one after another under the fire of the left and right flanks of the prismatic earthen fort, but the second group of people rushed over.

Seeing that several sections of the trench had been filled with corpses and sandbags, more and more Ming troops poured under the wall, and although they avoided the fire from the front, the fire from the other slope still knocked them down in batches.

The first group had not yet fallen, the latter group had already rushed over under the drive of the generals, and the soldiers fell one after another in the open space between the salient forts, and each volley of fire on the earthen fort was like a sickle quickly harvesting the lives of a group of people. Smoke enveloped the earthen embankment, and those in the distance could only see the light of rifle and artillery fire.

The casualties on the earthen fort increased, and many of the team members fell from arrows. The infantry line behind the wall began to weaken, and the firepower thinned. Many officers and men climbed up and threw burning pots at the earthen forts, although the ceramic fire pots could not explode, but the flames and smoke after landing also caused a certain confusion among the defenders.

The artillery fire has stopped, and if the fire is fired again at such a close distance, it will be an indiscriminate attack, and the officers, soldiers, and escorts will all be in the same pot. Without the support of artillery, the rifle fire gradually thinned out, and the officers and men continued to climb the earthen forts, and it seemed that a breakthrough was about to be formed.

Once a point is broken through, it will fall into full passivity, and life and death are on the line. Summer Nanda shouted: "With a bayonet!" Drive them down! ”

Huang Hansheng was the first to pick up his rifle and stabbed the officers and soldiers who climbed the wall with his bayonet. Officers and soldiers who had not gained a firm foothold were stabbed off the wall. The rest of the men also took up their bayonets and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers.

Su Thick Leg was on the front line of hand-to-hand combat, he stopped loading, picked up his gun and rushed towards the officers and soldiers. In front of him were officers and soldiers who kept climbing up, and at this time an arrow pierced his thigh, and he screamed and fell into the pile of corpses. An officer jumped over and brandished his waist knife to cut off his head, but was immediately stabbed to death with bayonets by the team members who rushed from behind. The two sides fought back and forth in this square inch.

Su Thick Legs picked up one of the waist knives of the officers and soldiers, cut off the exposed arrow shaft on his thigh, gritted his teeth and stood up to engage in white-knuckle combat. Although his leg injury made it difficult to move, the solid assassination action made him not lose the slightest moment, and soon two officers and soldiers fell in front of him.

However, in the case of cold weapon battles, the number of people can be increased to a certain extent, which can cancel out the rest of the opponent's advantage. Although the officers and soldiers did not have the upper hand one-on-one, they still relied on the tactics of crowds to climb the earthen wall one after another, and they were about to form a breakthrough with their numerical superiority, at this time Huang Mengjia led a group of team members to rush over in time from the other side of the salient fort to reinforce in time.

Hand-to-hand combat fully swung the advantage of Huang Mengjia, and he did not use a bayonet, but a more comfortable eyebrow-raising iron rod. With a smash of the stick, the brains of an officer and soldier flew out, and with another sweep, several officers and soldiers took off their waist knives and spears one after another, some had broken wrists, some had broken arms, and some had been swept into the chest, their ribs were broken, and their entire chests collapsed. Everywhere he went, he was invincible, and no one could stop him. Seeing that he was too violent, the officers and soldiers avoided fighting him directly.

Huang Mengjia boosted the morale of the guards present, and they shouted and raised their bayonets to stab at the officers and soldiers who were still climbing up. Facts have proved that in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, the officers and men who fight separately are far inferior to the well-trained escorts, and three or five members of the team can repel more than a dozen officers and men with bayonets.

This wave of attacks lasted for an hour, and although the Ming army organized onslaught again and again, regardless of casualties, the defense on the earthen fort was very tenacious, and the numerically superior Ming army did not take much advantage of hand-to-hand combat. At this time, the artillery on the other salient fort saw the opportunity to continue to fire at the Ming army's reinforcements, blocking the forward momentum of the reinforcements, and the officers and soldiers who boarded the earthen fort could not get timely reinforcements and were gradually driven down.

The guerrilla Wang Daoji was still shouting to organize an attack, and Xia Nan said to Yang Youji beside him: "Shoot that general." ”

Yang Youji stretched out his bow and set up arrows, and the arrows shot out like lightning, and Wang Daoji's arrows were planted from his horse on his back. Seeing that the general who organized the attack was killed, the officers and soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties and had no support for them finally could no longer hold on, and fled back with a roar.

He Rubin saw the men and horses rolling and surging under the earthen embankment, constantly attacking the earthen embankment and being forced down, and his heart was secretly anxious. At this time, he saw that Wang Daoji's men and horses sent for follow-up reinforcements were retreating one after another, and he couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and was about to give the order to beat the drum to urge the attack, only to see that the men and horses who had already attacked the side of the trench were also retreating. In an instant, the four or five thousand men and horses on the battlefield completely collapsed like an avalanche, and the ground was full of routs who had lost their armor. (To be continued.) )
