After Su's order was given, the first row of soldiers in each small phalanx continued to squat, standing their rifles diagonally on the ground, their bayonets pointing forward at 45 degrees, to guard against the impact of the opposing cavalry, and the soldiers in the second row all stood up, raised their guns and aimed at the Mongolian cavalry besieged in the center. Unlike the previous shooting mode, www.biquge.info muzzle of the gun is raised by two inches, not horizontally, so that the trajectory of the lead bullet will not pass through the enemy and accidentally injure his own people on the opposite side, but it will just be able to reach the Mongols on horseback.

Alslen has suffered the loss of this kind of firecracker, the short gun is already so powerful, and now this dense thousands of long guns are even more fatal. He ordered loudly: "Don't let them shoot calmly, rush up and fight." If you don't stand still, you will only wait for death, and there is still a chance of life if you rush forward! ”

These Mongolian cavalrymen are veterans of a hundred battles, and it is not the first time that they have followed Houjin into the Kou to rob, they have an average will to fight, and they have a lot of experience. They knew that the exchange of bows and arrows with firearms was not a big deal, especially at such a close distance, and there was only a chance to pounce on them in hand-to-hand combat.

The Mongols also fought, and they thought they were heavy cavalry, but before they could meet the opponent's short-handed soldiers, the soldiers opened fire as Su's thick leg command knife fell.

The raindrops of lead bullet shrouded the Mongols, and they were beaten to the ground with only thin leather armor, and their horses were also hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground.

The rest of the Mongol cavalry, who had no way out, took advantage of the gap between the soldiers to reload, crossed the robes on the ground and the corpses of the horses, and howled and pounced on the bayonet formation. Because of the animal's instinct to avoid danger, the war horse did not want to approach the bayonet that flashed with cold light, so the Mongols kicked the horse in the belly with both legs, and the spurs on the feet pierced the war horse with blood.

Seeing this, the soldiers who were loading were so frightened that they didn't bother to reload their ammunition, raised their rifles, and used their bayonets to go over the heads of their comrades in the front row and stab at the enemy and their horses.

Countless Mongol cavalrymen and horses fell into a forest-like bayonet formation, and were pierced into a hornet's nest by several bayonets, and the huge horses crushed the soldiers with spears under them, spitting blood from their mouths. There were casualties on both sides, but the situation was even more unfavorable for the Mongols - the inmobile cavalry was besieged by infantry similar to spearmen, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.

Outside the castle, the Han army launched its first charge, and under the supervision of the Houjinjia soldiers, they held their weapons tightly and rushed forward with their heads down. The mountain guns on the convex corners fired incessantly, and from time to time shells fell into the crowd, or smashed on the ground and bounced off people. The Han army has dealt with the Hongyi cannon, is no stranger to the artillery, and is not surprised by the casualties caused by the shelling, in their opinion, this density of artillery fire is not as terrible as the sword of the warlord, rushing up, climbing the city wall, there is a chance to live, otherwise, as long as they dare to turn back, they will be cut off immediately.

The Han army looked at the city wall in front of them, which did not seem to be tall, and had an illusion, thinking that it was impossible to attack such a castle and even use a ladder, and a few people could go up by taking a ladder. As long as the city wall is captured and the rear army is given a chance to break the city, this credit will not be able to escape, and if you are lucky, you may be able to raise the flag. Supported by such a belief, they braved artillery fire and gradually moved closer to the city walls at the cost of human lives.

However, they didn't know that the seemingly low city wall was not a weakness of the city defense, but was deliberately done to better play the advantage of cross-fire on the city wall - too tall the city wall certainly created difficulties for the besieging side, but the artillery and fire guns at the head of the wall would have a lot of shooting dead ends, which also limited the firepower output of the defenders.

After paying a few hundred casualties, the 2,000 Han army finally approached the front wall. However, in the face of the recessed walls and protruding edges, they were a little at a loss, and their previous experience in the city seemed to be useless.

Some people began to try to stack arhats, stepping on one shoulder and climbing up, trying to climb the city wall in this way. There was no such thing as a piece of wood falling from the wall, but the dense crossfire on both sides of the fortress told them that attacking the fortress would cost them their lives.

The Han army besieging the city endured an unprecedented rain of bullets, and the lead bullets flying from both sides crossed and shuttled through the crowd, with almost no dead ends, forming a meat grinder in a small space - in the thick smoke, accompanied by screams, the Han army fell in pieces, without the power to fight back.

The soldiers on the fortress didn't need to think about other factors, as long as they were mechanically loaded and fired, such a close distance, such a dense crowd, could hit with their eyes closed, and the smoke could not stop the pouring of fire. Soon, because of the continuous firing, the barrel was a little hot.

Abatai, Galtu and the others watched in amazement as the slaughter lay ahead, this strangely shaped fortress was indeed difficult to deal with.

Gartu couldn't help but say: "Won't these Ming army's bird guns blow up?" "According to past experience, after the Ming army's bird guns fired two or three shots, there was a chance of exploding, and the wounded bird guns could only withdraw from the battle. However, it seems that these people's bird guns will not have the possibility of exploding, and they can continue to shoot, which is completely different from other Ming troops.

No one could answer his question, and Abatai stared at the battle in front of the fortress with a blushing face, and did not say a word.

Soon, the Han army collapsed under the high-intensity fire blows. Seeing the companions around him fall in a pool of blood one by one, but he can't even touch the hair of the other party, such a situation is easy to make people break down psychologically. The rest of the Han army no longer had the intention of fighting, and ran back in a swarm, and the overseers cut off several heads one after another, but they could not stop the rout.

Of the more than 2,000 Han troops, only five or six hundred people ran back, and the manpower in front of the castle was lost, including those who were seriously injured and could not escape, as high as seventy percent.

After beating off the first round of tentative attacks, Lin Weiye's confidence increased greatly. In his opinion, these Han troops did not have long-range attack weapons, and they actually wanted to rely on the method of human sandbags to get on the city wall, and their combat effectiveness was not as good as the Guangdong battalion soldiers who attacked Bofu back then. He ordered the soldiers to go down and let the soldiers rest for a while, waiting for the barrels to cool down for the next round of attacks.

The first round of fighting on the wall is over, and the strangulation in the city is coming to an end.

The Mongol cavalry was cornered by a hedgehog-like bayonet array, and the light cavalry that could not rush was not as intimidating as ordinary infantry. In desperation, the Mongols drew their riding bows and prepared to use their arrows against the firearms, even if they died, they would have to pull a few cushions.
