Chapter Eighty-Six: Preparations for a Counterattack

The dull whistling sound of "woo woo woo ......" sounded on the battlefield, and the first round of fifty stone bullets, under the action of trebuchets, flew towards the second-line position of the Tiger and Leopard Army at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A huge roar resounded on the battlefield, and the smoke and dust kicked up by the stone bullets not only did not decrease in the slightest compared to a few hours ago, but became more intense.

The only thing that made Wang Feng feel fortunate was that the thick crushed soil he had laid in the trench worked.

After the stone projectiles were submerged in the thick of debris, they never jumped high from the ground as they had been hours earlier, killing and wounding the Haw Par Army hidden in the trenches.

Stone projectiles that hit the shield also had limited success.

The shield, wrapped in quilt and cowhide, was not directly smashed to pieces by stone bullets as it had been a few hours ago, causing secondary damage to the Haw Par Army hiding under the shield.

Looking at the entire position, there were only four long scramlers with shields, and two arms were broken by the tremendous impact of the stone bullets whizzing down.

"All the methods have worked......" Wang Feng, who instantly showed a smile on his face, shouted loudly in his heart.

Wang Feng was happy, and so was the Tartar opposite.

Because, when they saw that the smoke and dust rolled up by the first round of stone bullets were even greater, they thought to themselves that the results achieved by this round of stone bullets would definitely be greater.

Screaming and firing stone projectiles at the Hawpanzer Army's position at his fastest firing speed.

Half an hour later, as the Tartar waited expectantly, Do'er rolled out.

"Attack, immediately attack the Tiger and Par Army......"

The victory in the first round of the attack made the Tartars more arrogant invisibly, coupled with the intricate barbs that blocked the Tartars' attack. In this attack, Dolroll not only sent more Tartars, but also abandoned the bulky shield carts that affected the speed of the troops' attacks, and used all shields.

The Tartars were destined to pay the price for their arrogance and contempt for the Hawpanther Army.

As soon as he had reached eighty paces of attack, the sound of gunfire like bursting beans began to sound on the front line of the earthen wall.

Shot from a new arquebus, the cone-shaped buckshot with super penetrating power punches holes in the shield. Then, the aftermath continued to fly forward, shooting into the body of the Tartar, knocking the arrogant Tartar to the ground.

"Why is there such a dense gunfire, trebuchets, continue to fire stone projectiles at the positions of the Tiger and Par Army, and break them......"

"What about archers? Why don't you release the arrows, release the arrows right away, and suppress the Haw Par Musketeers......"

The first row of tartars under the cover of the shield, like ripe wheat, was neatly cut to the ground by the first round of buckshot. All sorts of exclamations began to ring out on the battlefield.

The density of stone bullets and arrows continued to fly towards the Haw Par Army's position, trying to suppress the musketeers who kept shooting lead bullets at them.

However, the Tartars were disappointed.

No matter how dense the arrows they fired, no matter how many stone bullets they fired, no matter how thick the smoke and dust rolled up in the positions of the Tiger and Par Army. The positions of the Haw Par Army, which had been completely shrouded in smoke and dust, still continued to shoot deadly lead bullets at themselves.

"What's going on, why hasn't the gunfire of the Haw Par Army weakened... Didn't the stone bullets fired by the trebuchet hit the target..."Listening to the gunfire on the battlefield that did not weaken in the slightest, Dolgon's confident face was slowly replaced by solemnity, and he asked his subordinates in a stern tone.

"Lord Belle, the minions don't know... However, the minions can be sure that the stone projectiles we fired will definitely hit the target..."

"If nothing else, there must be some new conspiracy on the part of the Haw Par Army," replied an adjutant general with a look of trepidation.

Dorgon nodded, continuing to shift his gaze to the battlefield.

At this moment, the attacking troops he sent had already attacked less than fifty steps away from the position of the Haw Par Army.

However, starting from the 80 paces of the guns of the Haw Par Army, the corpses of their own troops left on the offensive road can be said to be more and more.

Dolgon did not count them, but from experience alone, he had judged that there were more than one hundred and fifty corpses lying on the battlefield. What's more, most of the one hundred and fifty corpses were real Houjin warriors.

"There are still fifty paces to attack, and at this rate of loss, by the time the warriors rush to the position of the Tiger and Par Army, the warriors of the three Niu Lu will definitely lose more than half..."Dolgon muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

Then, with a face full of reluctance, he decisively ordered: "We can't attack like this, our warriors are limited in number and can't afford such a big loss... Even if we want to attack, we must let the infantry follow us in front of us..."

"Order the attacking forces to retreat immediately....trebuchets and continue to fire live ammunition at the positions of the Haw Par Army... I don't believe that the stone projectiles we fired can't destroy the positions of the Haw Par Army and destroy their will to resist..."

Under the stubborn resistance of the Haw Par Army, the Tartars retreated...

The dense live ammunition, although unabated, flew towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army with a whistling sound.

However, because of Wang Feng's series of preparations, the damage brought by these live ammunition to the Haw Par Army can be described as very limited.

As time passed, the sky slowly darkened, and in order to cope with the night battles that he was not very good at, the Tartars had to stop attacking and turn to the defensive.

In Mushroom Valley City, under Wei Zheng's anxious waiting, the parts that had been carefully cut and polished by carpenters were slowly assembled together. In less than a cup of tea, a trebuchet that was better than a Tartar appeared in front of everyone.

Before Wei Zheng could speak, Zhou Shuyuan had already taken a step ahead and said: "General, this is a joint research by all the craftsmen of our Tiger and Leopard Army, not only in terms of range, it is far superior to the Tartar, but also in terms of accuracy, it is much better than the Tartar. ”

"Although he can't say where to hit within 150 steps, his error is definitely no more than five steps."

Wei Zheng nodded with a satisfied face and asked, "What I want is this trebuchet... I'll just say that the craftsmanship of our Han people is definitely no worse than that of Tartar. The same weapon, we Han people are definitely better than Tartar..."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will use the trebuchet made by our Han man to give Tartar a big surprise. Tell Dolgon, on the other side, that if he really intends to fight us to the death, then he must be prepared to pay a heavy price. ”

Zhou Shuyuan nodded with an approving look on his face and returned: "General, after your new order was issued, I thought about it seriously. With the range and accuracy of our trebuchets, coupled with the powerful 400 explosives packs, it is absolutely possible to deal a devastating blow to the Tartars gathered in the front-line positions in a short time. ”

"When the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and we will definitely be able to catch the Tartars off guard, and create another miracle that belongs to our Tiger and Leopard Army, so that our Tiger and Leopard Army will be completely famous and famous throughout the Ming Dynasty..."
