(0722) Violent gunfire rang out, and bullets whistled, sweeping away all the forwards with blue flags. At a distance of about 100 meters, the power of the Han-style rifle is very large, and the hit rate is also very high. The shooting boundary in front of Yangguan Fort has long been emptied by the front of Xu Xingxia's faction, which is very conducive to shooting. In front of the crosshair of the Han-style rifle, every Jianyu is unmistakable. If you still can't hit, it can only mean that your marksmanship is too bad.

The chaser troops, of more than a thousand people, fired together, and the bullets suddenly rained down like a torrential rain, and it was strange that the soldiers with blue flags could withstand it. The thin armor on their bodies can also block a rifle bullet, not even a mini bullet, let alone an all-metal bullet. From the point of view of the White Army, this was a pure one-sided massacre. The bodies of those captives were much easier to hit than the targets on the shooting range.

The city walls, which were destroyed by the cannons, were full of potholes, which was very conducive to the concealment of the white-clothed army. They often hide behind the walls, with only a black hole sticking out of the walls. As long as two fingers of the big hole, you can meet the needs of shooting. With Jianyu's eyes, a hundred meters away, it was really difficult to distinguish the location of the white-clothed army.

Moreover, the shooting of Han-style rifles did not come out of smoke. It is simply impossible to rely on a smoke screen to judge the location of the gunman. There was something like a smoke screen floating up, and it was just dust. As for relying on gunfire...... The gunfire at the scene was so dense, so chaotic, and there were a lot of screams, moans, and shouts, can you tell?

With the sound of the Han-style rifle, the building captives with blue flags kept falling to the ground. They are getting fewer and fewer in number, and the forwards are becoming more and more sparse. No matter how hard they tried, they seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Yangguan Fort. Xu Xingxia saw all this from the telescope, except for showing respect for the courage of the Jianyu soldiers, everything else was only contempt.

This time, the total strength of the chassars stationed at Yangguan Fort has reached more than 1,500 people. With the exception of one squadron as a reserve, the rest of the troops were pulled up. Thousands of Han-style rifles were fired together, and the power can be imagined. Amin's blue flag, even if all of them are dispatched, it is only three or four thousand people. In the face of such ferocious firepower, where did they have a chance to get close to Yangguan Fort? It was a blessing that he was not killed on the spot.

Those who were not killed all lay on the ground and did not dare to move. Bullets whizzed past their heads. This is the call of death, and you can bring them to death at any time. They didn't dare to make any other movement except lying on the ground. Because, even the slightest movement can attract the attention of a sniper. The snipers of the White Army are the most terrifying.

"How so?" Du Du said in disbelief.

After all, he is young, and many times he can't hold back his emotions. Seeing this tragic scene, his eyes widened and rounded, and he looked completely unbelievable. When Amin attacked, he was still looking forward to a good start. Unexpectedly, the counterattack of the white-clothed army was still so fierce.

The other high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom all had gloomy faces, looking at everything in front of them helplessly and bitterly. They had to admit once again that the muskets of the white-clothed army were indeed too fierce. A large number of bullets poured down like a torrential rain, and no matter how brave the Dajin army was, they couldn't bear it. With the blue flag, this time I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

The soldiers of the Chasseurs, while fighting in real combat, also had to test the maximum number of shots of the Han-style rifle by the way, so they did not care at all about saving bullets. Regardless of whether the prisoners in front of them were killed or not, they continued to fire more bullets mercilessly. Unless the barrel has been beaten red and it is impossible to continue shooting. Anyway, a boatload of bullets was enough for them to keep going for days. After all, the Han-style rifle is a manual rifle, and it is estimated that the firearms are all crippled, and the bullets have not been consumed.

"Great Khan, let's retreat!" Eyi said helplessly.

If you continue to fight like this, there will really be no one left of the blue flag. After all, the inlaid blue flag is one of the eight flags, and if the inlaid blue flag is completely wiped out, it will be a serious blow to the morale of the other seven banner soldiers. Since its creation, the Eight Banners of Manchuria have never suffered such heavy losses. If the morale of the entire Manchurian Eight Banners suffers a heavy blow, the combat effectiveness will plummet. A large part of the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was based on high morale. If there is no morale, it will be even more difficult to deal with the white-clothed army.

Nurhachi looked at the battlefield with some unwillingness. Emotionally, he was genuinely reluctant to retreat. He really didn't want to see such an outcome. He didn't believe that the blue flag would be so incompetent, and it was impossible to even get close to the white-clothed army. Eventually, though, he ordered the Blue Flag to retreat. Reason told him that the blue flag was also an important part of the Dajin Army, and if it was disabled, the viable force of the Dajin Army would also suffer a huge blow.

However, if the Dajin army wants to retreat, it will not be so easy. The guns and bullets of the white-clad army followed. Many of the Chasseur warriors, in order to test the extreme ability of the Han-style rifle, were there to shoot repeatedly without hesitation. Thankfully, none of them had a high hit rate. Of the 100 rounds, it is estimated that only a few hit the target. However, the luck of the Dajin Army was very bad, and they were targeted by the snipers of the White Army again.

The snipers of the white-clothed army like to do the most is to shoot the retreating blue-flaged soldiers. They don't have the spirit of knighthood and don't shoot in the back of the enemy. Under their guns, the soldiers with blue flags, if they want to retreat, it is almost like sending them to death. As long as they find the figure, the building captives with the blue flag, there is almost no possibility of retreat. A monotonous, dull gunfire took away the lives of one person after another.

Finally, Amin withdrew all the blue flags. As a result, when the number of people was counted, it was found that at least 2,800 people had been lost. When the whole army set out with the blue flag, there were about 3,300 men, and when they returned, there were only 500 men. Most of the rest of the people were wounded, and there were less than three hundred people who could continue to fight. Basically, the entire blue flag is completely out of combat. To be precise, the whole army was wiped out.

In the face of such a heavy loss, the high-level leaders of Dajin Country were silent. Abatai and the others had white lips and bitter mouths, and they didn't know what to say. The combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army is so strong that it is simply incredible. A huge blue flag was completely disabled by the white-clothed army in less than half an hour.

For a while, everyone's heart seemed to be pressed by thousands of pounds of heavy lead, and it was a little breathless. They couldn't think of any effective way to deal with the white-clothed army.

"Keep firing!" Nurhachi had no choice but to give the order.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of all kinds roared intermittently. They fired shells that had been searched for from all over the country. In the bursts of artillery fire, solid bullets continued to fall on the position of Yangguanbao, splashing a large amount of earth. Looking at the past from the perspective of the Dajin Army, the white-clothed army in Yangguan Fort was once again shrouded in dense shells.

However, in front of the well-prepared white-clothed army, such an artillery bombardment would not have any effect at all. Except for a very small number of white-clothed soldiers who were responsible for monitoring the enemy, who were unfortunately killed and wounded by the rebounding solid bullets, the other solid bullets were completely wasted. Later, the soldiers who were responsible for monitoring the Dajin Army were also moved to the bunkers, and the shelling of the Dajin Army was completely ineffective. Well, it's not completely ineffective, at least it helps Yangguanbao to tamp the loose soil, and the surrounding people can also pick up scrap iron here and sell it for money in the future.

Looking at the overwhelming artillery fire and continuing to cover up Yangguan Fort, the high-level leaders of Dajin Country no longer had the slightest expectation. They all have an instinct that this shelling has been wasted again. The previous shelling did not cause any losses to the white-clothed army, and this time it is estimated that it will not be an exception. However, apart from the shelling, the Dajin army had no better way.

"Let's send out the cavalry!" Abatai strongly advised Nurhachi.

The other high-ranking officials of the Dajin Army also nodded silently. Infantry attacks have no effect, only cavalry is used. Perhaps, the high speed of the cavalry can smash the walls of Yangguan Fort and directly enter it. After the second shelling, the walls of Yangguan Fort were already in tatters, and there were gaps in many places. If the cavalry of the Dajin Army is clever enough, they should be able to kill through the gap.

As for what will happen after the killing, the high-level officials of Dajin Country have not considered it. They all felt that as long as they could kill it, they would basically be able to solve the battle. The hand-to-hand combat ability of the white-clothed army cannot be as strong as the Dajin army. If the hand-to-hand combat ability of the white-clothed army was also so strong, Nurhachi decided to withdraw the army immediately and stop fighting the white-clothed army. Nothing is as good as the other party, and if you continue to fight, isn't this looking for your own death?

This time, the attack was launched with a red flag. The banner owner with the red flag is the good. Dai Shan stayed in Liaoyang and did not go to the front line, so the red flag was handed over to Nurhachi for direct command. Of course, it was impossible for Nurhachi to go into battle in person, so he temporarily handed over the red flag to Abatai's command. However, Nurhachi felt that one red flag was not enough, and an elite with a white flag also needed to be added. He wants to concentrate the elite of the two flags and fight down.

"Abatai, you go to the front and command." Nurhachi said.

"Good!" Abatai immediately agreed. As if he saw the position of the owner of the white flag, he was beckoning to himself, and the battle of Abatai was very strong. He knew that this was Nurhachi's chance to prove his abilities. At his urging, the cavalry inlaid with white flags and red flags hurriedly lined up, ready to launch a cavalry assault.

This was the first time since the formation of the Manchurian Eight Banners that cavalry was directly used to storm the enemy's fortress. This kind of use of soldiers was originally a taboo for soldiers. However, Nurhachi and other high-ranking officials of the Dajin Kingdom believed that the walls of Yangguan Fort were in tatters and no longer had enough capacity to block cavalry attacks. The Daikin Army should be able to work miracles.

...... "Everyone get grenades ready. Xu Xingxia ordered calmly.

The dilapidated walls of Yangguan Fort really had no way to stop the assault of the Jianyu cavalry. As long as the cavalry desperately rammed forward, they could smash the city wall and fight their way out. Relying solely on Han-style rifles could no longer stop the assault of the Jianyu cavalry. The grenade, this mysterious, special gift, is time for its grand debut.

Xu Xingxia deduced that after Jianyu's cavalry rushed up, they must have been crowded for a while at the gap in the city wall. It was impossible for the cavalry to tear down all the walls, they could only open a few openings in a few places, and then enter in formation. When they were crowded, a grenade passed, and that was the best gift for the Dajin army.

Yun Qifeng came to Xu Xingxia and couldn't wait to say, "My lord, shouldn't our artillery battalion show off its skills?" The cavalry of Jianyu was dispatched. ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head and said calmly: "Your task is to hide it!" No one is allowed to fire without my orders! Violators will be dealt with by military law! Don't worry, there will be a time for you to perform in the future! The greater the price that Jianyu pays here, the more unwilling he will become. They're definitely going to have to launch a much larger onslaught. ”

Yun Qifeng had no choice but to go listlessly and depressed.

The artillery bombardment began again. Presumably from somewhere else, some more shells were obtained. It's a pity that the number of shells they got is not very large. As a result, the shelling lasted only a little while before it had to be stopped.

"Charge!" Abatai roared loudly.

A large number of Jianyu cavalry, the protagonist's urging war horses, swarmed towards Yangguan Fort.

Liu Chuang held the binoculars and carefully observed Jianyu's movements. He suddenly said slowly: "It seems that there are quite a few cavalry dispatched by Jianyu, estimated to be 5,000 people. The wild boar skin really looked up to us, and the red flag and the white flag came up together. ”

Xu Xingxia put down the binoculars, nodded quietly, and said casually: "Five thousand people, not much." The number of cavalry dispatched by Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan was much more than theirs. ”

Indeed, after seeing the cavalry group impact of Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan, the soldiers of the Chasseur were no stranger to this kind of impact of 5,000 cavalry. Even, they will feel with contempt that the strength of Jianyu is a little less. It's only 5,000 people, and you dare to show it off?

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Some of the chaser warriors opened fire one after another.

It's a pity that the lethality of the bullet is basically non-existent due to the distance.

The Jianyu cavalry in the storm, without the slightest hindrance, continued to rush towards Yangguan Fort. The sound of horses' hooves was like spring thunder knocking on the earth, shaking everyone's hearts. The dust on the ground also trembled because of the agitation of the horses' hooves.

When Nurhachi and the others saw this scene, they thought that the white-clothed army had exhausted their donkey skills, and their hearts were finally slowly put down. It seems that the offensive of the cavalry is indeed much stronger than that of the infantry. It is estimated that the White Clothes Army has never encountered so many cavalry raids, right? Perhaps, they have been shocked by the momentum of thousands of troops.

At this time, the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom, whether conscious or unconscious, forgot the names Mo Yuegen and Lin Dan Khan. If Mo Yuegen and Lin Danhan were here, they would definitely laugh at them mercilessly. Dispatch 5,000 people, it is called thousands of troops? Then we dispatched tens of thousands of people at a time, what should we call it?

As the cavalry of the Dajin Army continued to approach Yangguan Fort, the hopes of Amin and the others gradually became stronger. They all strongly hinted to themselves that the cavalry of the Dajin Army must be invincible in the world. No one is an opponent of the cavalry of the Dajin Army. Perhaps, the cavalry can really break through the defense line of the white-clothed army and slaughter all the hateful white-clothed troops inside.

However, as the Jianyu cavalry approached, the Han-style rifle gradually came into play. There were constantly cavalry falling. In the ranks of high-speed gallops, if a war horse falls, it must be the most tragic thing. Even if you are not killed by bullets on the spot, you will be trampled to death by the hooves of your companions. Therefore, as long as it is a fallen cavalry, there is basically no hope of survival. The hooves of the brigade trampled past, and there was only a dark red left on the ground.

The remnants of the Jianyu cavalry continued to rush towards Yangguan Fort. The walls of Yangguan Fort were basically smashed, and gaps appeared in quite a few places. These gaps can be passed by cavalry. There are gaps, and even two war horses can pass side by side. These gaps one by one are the objects of the cavalry attack. They can go straight to the Sheep Castle from the gap. As long as they enter Yangguan Fort, it will be their world.

Du Du and the others rubbed their hands excitedly, looking forward to a good start. He couldn't contain his excitement anymore. The other high-ranking members of the Dajin Army couldn't help but slowly become excited. Even Nurhachi's mood at this moment has become serious. He even held his breath and kept his eyes open, refusing to miss any detail. Win or lose, win or lose, in one fell swoop.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Abatai kept shouting loudly, and his blood boiled.

The vanguard of the cavalry of the Dajin Army was less than 20 zhang away from the wall of Yangguan Fort. This is a distance that the infantry of the Dajin Army has never been able to reach. At such a short distance, the cavalry of the Dajin Army could already give full play to the advantages of cavalry archery. The vanguard of the cavalry of the Dajin Army is using sharp arrows to try to contain the counterattack of the white-clothed army.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

On the battlefield, there was a dense sound of arrows breaking through the air.

The sharp arrows of the Dajin Army, like flying locusts, were dense, fast, accurate and ruthless.
