Chapter 250: War is also an art
"Don't panic, it's like solving a problem, just follow the steps."
Yang Tangcheng, the commander of the left wing of Yingde and Germany, explained to his sentry commander, as the most powerful wing commander under Zhang Hanjin, his position is directly north of Furong Mountain, the terrain in front is the most fragmented, and the pressure he faces is also the greatest.
"Do you know how to count one, two, three, four, five? One plus one equals two! Pick the trigger and the enemy dies, it's as simple as that! ”
Guangzhou Yiyi Chang'an Wei shouted to his subordinates, as a member of the An family, after An Jinzhi and Li Xi got married, he was attracted by Qingtian Siwei's outfit, and he also followed Zhang Hanjin and grew up quickly. After Li Shi expanded his army, he was promoted to the commander of the Guangzhou wing, and after experiencing the Battle of Yong'an, he was already a veteran. At present, he is guarding the west side of the position at the foot of the mountain, where the terrain is the most open, although it is said that the Qing soldiers who rushed in the most are the smallest, but the pressure is the least.
"When you can't see the eyes of the enemy, war is a handicraft, just like workmanship, there is no mystery."
Qingtian's left-wing chief Tian Tangjian said this, he is still Tian Dayu's cousin, honest and honest, from a furnace worker to an officer, relying on hard work. His wing guarded the foot of the northeast mountain closest to Shaozhou City, and the defense line was tortuous and winding, and the pressure was also very great.
"And what is war when you see the eyes of the enemy?"
The subordinates asked curiously, a large group of Qing soldiers had already emerged a hundred paces ahead, and it was still quiet inside the low wall.
"Our goal is to...... Never see the eyes of the enemy. ”
On the mountainside, Wang Tanghe said this to his gunners.
This wave of about 3,000 Qing soldiers rushed to Furong Mountain in three ways, stopped again a hundred paces away, and routinely opened fire and fired arrows, but there was nothing they could do about the low wall. The wall was more than four feet high, only enough to protect the chest, but it seemed to be thicker than the height, and it shrank under the wall, and let the cannons and bullets bombard, and not a single piece of skin was wiped off. As for the bow and arrow, it was of little use except for the occasional crisp bell on the opponent's iron helmet.
"Rush forward! Even a thin layer of people, pressure can crush them to death! ”
In three directions, Mr. Qian waved his waist knife and shouted loudly. This line of defense is a bit like the camel city of Galdan, but unfortunately, the other party still has artillery, and his own cannon is pressed behind, not to mention the close bombardment, and now he can't retreat.
These thousands were mobilizing loudly, and a burst of gunfire rang out from behind the low wall, which was even more strange than the previous gunshots, and in three directions, seven or eight thousand guns exploded with blood on their bodies, and they fell to a stunned place. A brave garrison led the team to rush to the front, raising his arms and shouting, his posture was quite brave, and it also attracted several gunfire, and several blood plasma spurted out of his head and chest at the same time, and the whole person turned around a few times before falling to the ground, which frightened the soldiers and their stomachs trembled.
"Hey! Why are you playing so early! ”
The momentum of the Qing soldiers in front of him suddenly stopped, Wang Tanghe was very dissatisfied, and he wanted to scare the Qing soldiers away, and his good show would not be able to go on stage.
Fortunately, the guerrilla garrison behind the formation still has a deterrent effect, and the Qing soldiers continue to rush forward.
"Eighty steps...... Seventy steps...... Sixty steps...... Fire! ”
In all three directions, the wing-commanders gave orders almost simultaneously.
Behind the low wall, a row of silver helmets rose up, and the fluffy volley of guns almost drowned out the sound of the cannons. On the tower of the gate of Shaozhou, Qu Wansheng, who was sitting, seemed to be on fire, and the whole person jumped up, when he and Wang Wenxiong were at the foot of Guanyin Mountain in Fogang, it was this row of guns that smashed their tide of attack.
Then Qu Wansheng came to his senses, his face suddenly burned red, but when he looked left and right, he breathed a sigh of relief, everyone was stunned, and the teacup in the hand of Chen Xun, the prefect of Shaozhou, fell to the ground with a bang, but he still didn't hear it.
The silver helmets rose and fell in rows, and the guns roared, sometimes mixed with the muffled sound of small cannons. After the first chorus, the sound of gunfire was fragmentary, but not messy, as if there were many small battlefields of guns speaking one after another.
The smoke of gunpowder soon covered the foot of Furong Mountain, and on the gate tower of Shaozhou City, it was difficult to see the details except for the rain of gunfire. And the high position at the rear of the battlefield is the same, only to feel that his wave of soldiers has been swallowed up by an inexplicable abyss.
This feeling was so strong, so real, that a moment later, seeing the remnants of the scattered soldiers escaping from the smoke and fog, Gao Qiwei felt that his heart was steady.
In the first wave of attacks, except for destroying a few sections of defense and possibly injuring more than a dozen people on the other side, there was no result at all, and he left at least five or six hundred corpses, and Gao Qiqi was silent.
Wang Wenxiong...... Die unjustly......"
After a long time, Gao Qiwei slowly spoke, this Li Shi's guns were so sharp that he only now had a full understanding.
"It's not that there is no way to defeat the enemy."
Then he looked at his men with horrified expressions on their faces, and said slowly.
"If this battle is defeated, Li Xi will no longer be able to control it, and we will wait...... Even if you are crushed, you will not be able to get away with it! ”
His tone was calm, and his hand gripping the hilt of the knife was extremely hard.
"In this battle, all the generals and soldiers must be determined to repay the country with death, and this life must be given up!"
Gao Qiwei had never been so severe, and a strange cold aura blew in the hearts of his subordinates, and most of the horror caused by the tragic scene just now was dispelled.
"Gao Junmen still hasn't retreated!?"
"yes, how is this battle fought? I can't rush up at all. ”
The smoke of gunpowder dispersed under Furong Mountain, and seeing a large corpse lying forty or fifty steps away in front of the low wall, the viewing group on the gate of Shaozhou City was cold, but also discussed.
"I said a long time ago, Li Xian's guns are fierce, and you can't win by relying on people."
Qu Wansheng put off the afterthought, but he felt that he was right.
"That's not necessarily, if it rains, Li Xi will probably suffer."
Wang Hua said hatefully, but everyone looked up at the sky, and there was no cloud...... "There is still a way to break Li Shi's gun." ”
Li Shibang saw some clues.
"It's just...... It depends not only on whether Gao Junmen is determined, but also on whether the soldiers below are ruthless. ”
What Li Shibang thought of, Gao Qiwei had already understood.
"The low wall of Li Shi is twisting and winding, and the gunfire on the left and right cannot meet each other, and in some places it is a separate section."
With a choking sound, Gao Qiqi pulled out his waist knife and pierced it on the ground.
"With a swarm of soldiers, go straight to a section, and if you can't break down once, you can rush ten times! As long as his low wall is broken down and swept left and right, the thousands of fast spearmen on his low wall will have to retreat on all fronts! ”
Gao Qiwei's eyes flashed, and he lost a thousand people, and he felt that it was worth it to make such a discovery.
"At that time, chase the rout, and the entire Furong Mountain will be in your hands!"
He made a conclusion in a deep voice.
"Gao Junmen is wise!"
The subordinates nodded their heads, these words came from the bottom of their hearts, and there was no falsehood, and they really deserved to be the generals who had fought the two great battles of the three feudal domains and Galdan.
The horn was in the sky, the flag was unfurled, about two or three quarters of an hour, the transfer of troops was completed, and another wave of Qing troops came out, the scale was about the same as the last time, and it was about 3,000 people, still divided into three roads, scattered into three wide planes, as if to repeat the futile impact of the last time.
But after rushing through half a mile, these Qing soldiers gradually gathered and rushed towards several relatively isolated mountain passes.
"The battle is only beginning now."
Seeing the movement of the Qing soldiers, Li Xian's mind condensed, this high-level strain is really fast, but the surname is also anxious enough, is he thinking about having lunch at the top of Furong Mountain at noon?
The original impact formation of the Qing soldiers was not dense, but this time they were almost shoulder to shoulder, feet rubbing feet, and from a distance, it was exactly the same as the literal human waves.
"Damn, damn it......"
Yang Tang Cheng kept chattering, and one of the Qing soldiers rushed towards the mountain col he was personally guarding, and there were only about a hundred people on the defensive line of sixty or seventy steps wide, but the other party rushed to a full thousand!
Fire! Fire!
While Yang Tangcheng ordered to open fire in advance, he dispatched the support of the left and right defensive lines, and at the same time, on the other two depression ridge slopes, An Wei and Tian Tangjian were also facing the same situation.
The platoon guns roared, seven or eight were knocked down from a hundred paces away, and the second round of platoon guns of sixty steps knocked down more than ten or twenty, and then the shotguns of the three god arm guns were sprayed out, almost sweeping away more than ten people in the front row, but this damage only stripped the shallow layer of the human wave, and the momentum of the Qing soldiers was still unabated, and the third round of platoon guns seemed to have to pull the trigger on the opponent's head.
In the face of the crowd ten times their own, even the veterans of the Yingde Wing and the Qingtian Wing were trembling all over, and the action of loading ammunition in their hands was also deformed.
"Bayonet-up!"
The three wing commanders all shouted in this dangerous position, this familiar order, so that the guards somewhat regained the feeling of being on the training ground, the bayonet was unsheathed and buckled on the muzzle, but in the face of the heavy crowd, even Yang Tangcheng admitted that he wanted to turn his head and escape.
"Flying Cannon! Damn, why haven't you started yet! ”
Yang Tangcheng screamed.
"Those who are fifty paces are yours, and those who are fifty paces away are ours."
Less than ten paces behind him, a gunner with a strange iron pipe said. The iron pipe was so thick that it almost caught up with the jack cannon, and it was strange because there were only three people fiddling with it, and the pipe was not facing straight ahead, but was tilting its head upward.
Tom tom tom ...... In three directions, there was a slight muffled sound, and the iron pipe spewed out a cloud of black and mushy things, which arced and fell leisurely sixty or seventy paces away.
Boom...... The cylindrical iron lump smashed on the head of a Qing soldier, instantly smashing this guy to the ground, and the crowd behind him stepped on his body mercilessly, and the iron lump was also kicked open. The other person had sharp eyes and stepped over with one foot, just as it was an ordinary cannon, he was a little puzzled, not only the shape of this cannon was weird, but with such a little strength, what could it be used for.
This question was answered in an instant, and with a bang, the world of Qing soldiers was light, and he felt that he was soaring into the air, and there was a leg with messy and charred flesh and bones, passing in front of his eyes.
In the dense crowd, blazing fireworks burst into clusters, each of which swallowed dozens of people around them, chewing flesh and blood in an instant, and body fragments were sprinkled like rain.
"Blossom Bomb!"
Seeing that the tide of human ants was cut off by this flame light, the high position in the rear, the viewing group of the Shaozhou City Gate Tower, exclaimed almost at the same time.
"It's not a flowering bomb!"
He Mengfeng followed Wang Hua and said in unison, looking at it, more than ten or twenty flames exploded all of a sudden, how could an ordinary flowering bomb be so reliable? And it was less than a hundred paces from the low wall, and it was not a cannon fired by an ordinary cannon.
"This flying cannon, taste comfortable!"
Seeing this picture of blood and fire, Wang Tang on the mountainside crossed his waist and shouted, his heart was extremely happy, his cannon wings were no longer immortals who could only smash solid stupid bumps, but a real big killer to blow people.
