Chapter 1415 Result

It has to be said that the snowfall at this time has a great impact on the field of vision of the snipers. Even when looking through the scope, the target three hundred meters away is completely invisible. Under normal conditions, snipers generally

They will continue to adjust until they can firmly lock the target in the crosshair before pulling the trigger. However, the target at this time is a war horse that is galloping away, and they cannot allow them to slowly aim. They can only rely on experience.

He fired with his hands, but in the end he was unable to save the horse and the rider it was carrying who was shot.

Morgan's face looked ugly at this time. Although he knew that the rider on the horse would probably not survive the gunshot wound, the feeling of firing the gun was really uncomfortable. And if the horse was on its own

If you run back to the Hou Jin Army's stronghold in the north, you will definitely attract the opponent's attention. It will be more difficult to continue to defend this place and lay an ambush.

"Chief, are you chasing me?" Someone immediately asked him for instructions.

Although two legs cannot outrun four legs, there are still two horses at the foot of the mountain that have not been shot. If two people are separated and chased on horseback, it is theoretically possible to catch up with the horse. Morgan thought for a moment

, and immediately ordered the two of them to go down the mountain, but they could only chase for two miles. If they didn’t see the escaping horse, there was no need to continue chasing. After all, the visibility was poor in this kind of snowy weather. When they went to ride horses at the foot of the mountain,

If you chase him out, you'll almost have to do your best and let fate dictate.

At this point, only one of the twelve members of the second Houjin patrol that came here was injured and escaped, and the remaining eleven members had fallen into the hands of the sniper team. Although the mission was not completed satisfactorily, it basically met Morgan's expectations.

The effect is at least 80% or above.

Morgan was a little reluctant, and wanted to wait for another wave of patrols, but considering that he still didn't know what the other party's safety signal was, he immediately ordered the remaining two Houjin infantrymen to be captured alive.

The two Houjin infantrymen encountered a huge change as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain. Before they could figure out what was going on, their companions were already dead and wounded. They could neither attack nor escape. When they were hesitating, they had already rushed down the mountain.

Several people, but they were not dressed as the Haihan army they knew, but were dressed in gray and white clothes, even their faces were covered, and they almost blended into the snowy background. However, judging from the weapons they held, they looked like Hou Jin soldiers.

He immediately confirmed that what he saw in front of him was the deadly enemy Haihan Army, and immediately drew out his sword and prepared to fight to the death.

The few Haihan soldiers who rushed down naturally would not tangle with them. They raised their guns and fired a few shots at the legs of the two men, first crippling them. Then everyone stepped forward and disarmed the Houjin soldiers.

He was chained with finger cuffs and dragged up the mountain. After being injured in the pursuit, the other two golden riders were already submerged in the snow.

Morgan and his group of snipers were almost all from the south, so naturally they couldn't understand what the two post-Jin soldiers were talking about. Fortunately, the people transferred to Morgan from Gaoqiao Nan had received special training.

, and began to interrogate the two Hou Jin soldiers with gestures and guesses. After a lot of trouble, the two men finally confessed, and it was as expected by Morgan. They did not see the signal at the foot of the mountain, so they stopped.

Front. The so-called safety signal was a piece of red cloth. Someone immediately went to the camp of the Houjin Patrol Team and found this thing.

"Is it just this piece of cloth? Are there any other colors of cloth found in the tent?" Morgan was worried that the two prisoners would deliberately give wrong information, so he asked a few more questions. After getting a definite answer, he

He asked his men to hang the red cloth on the northern hillside. Although he was not sure whether he could catch up with the escaped cavalry, Morgan still subconsciously asked his men to do this.

Perhaps he was not willing to go out for such a long time. He only enjoyed a battle that lasted for half a minute before heading back home. He was still eager for more battles in his heart. However, he still had to be careful before making a final decision.

Weigh the risks. After all, this is the front line of the battle between Haihan and Hou Jin. Even if we have obvious advantages in weapons, equipment, strategies and tactics, we cannot take it lightly when facing Hou Jin, a ferocious enemy - now Hou Jin Bu Bu

Under pressure, the Ming Dynasty once had an advantage in these aspects, but in the end it could not withstand the fierce pursuit of this group of barbarians.

Although the team led by Morgan is an elite one in the army, after all, its number is too small and its firepower is limited. If it really pulls out the opponent's large army, the risks it will face are also very high. To be on the safe side, of course, it is withdrawn from Haihan's control.

The mountainous areas are the safest. But based on the information currently available, Morgan believes that even if one person and one horse returns to the stronghold in the north alive, the possibility of the Jin army dispatching a large force is still extremely small.

According to the information obtained by the military, the Jinzhou Camp of the Hou Jin Army was still forty miles away. Even if the Hou Jin Cavalry was not shot, they fled back with all their strength to report the news, and then the other side organized a large number of troops as quickly as possible.

If we can get here again, Morgan thinks it will take at least two days. After all, a large force cannot just leave at once. It is a pretty good performance to be able to assemble overnight today and then set off tomorrow. And as long as the other party's commander

Some people will definitely consider whether their opponent has set up a trap and is waiting there during this period. Without knowing the opponent's troop deployment at all, it is unlikely that the commander will lead a large force to attack directly.

The most likely situation is that the cavalry flees back to the stronghold ten miles to the north. Based on Morgan's previous observations, he can basically determine that the number of troops there is only four to five hundred, and the cavalry will not exceed one hundred.

Even if the opponent wants to send troops to clear out this place, the sniper team will still be able to fight due to the favorable location. Moreover, Morgan previously sent someone back to report the news to Gao Qiaonan, and he has already told him to send a reinforcement of ammunition and rations as soon as possible in case of emergency.

If you need it, you shouldn't have to worry about running out of ammunition and food.

The two cavalry sent out to pursue them soon came back. They lost track of their target in the snow and wind, and ultimately failed to bring the man and horse back. However, Morgan made up his mind at this time and immediately ordered them to move onto the snowy field.

The corpses were carried on horses and transported to a bush at the foot of the mountain for disposal.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Morgan estimated that it was too early for the man and horse to run back to the northern stronghold. It was unlikely that the opponent would send troops overnight. They would probably wait until dawn tomorrow before gathering people to find out. Morgan

With nothing to do, he called everyone together and summarized the previous battle process.

Fighting in this kind of snowy environment is a completely new subject for everyone, including Morgan. When they ambush the Houjin patrol, there was still some delay in responding, leaving the opponent with a chance to escape.

If it weren't for Morgan's proper command, all three cavalry might have run away. After learning from previous experiences, Morgan made some adjustments to his tactics and made battle arrangements for the Houjin troops that might appear in the future.

Before nightfall, a small cavalry team came from the mountainous area. Takahashi Nan was afraid that Morgan's sniper team would run out of ammunition, so he transported half of the special ammunition for the sniper team that arrived at the front line this time, and also sent it in the name of escorting supplies.

A squad of manpower came over, and they actually came here specifically to help Morgan, in case there was a dangerous situation due to insufficient troops here for the battle.

Suddenly there were more than a dozen fast guns, and the firepower output of this team naturally increased greatly in an instant. However, the combat methods of these soldiers in the special operations battalion were quite different from that of the sniper team, and Morgan was unable to do anything for a while.

In order to allow the two different arms to be well integrated together, he decided to perform their respective duties. The sniper team is responsible for long-range attacks, and the soldiers of the special operations battalion are responsible for close defense. Of course, this close range is only relative to the sniper team.

In terms of method, the seven-shot rifles in their hands are also very accurate at a distance of 100 meters. It is not easy for the enemy to break through this line of fire.

Although Morgan did not ask for reinforcements from Takahashi Nan, the arrival of this small team still made Morgan feel very comfortable. It must be said that Takahashi Nan's grasp of this speed was quite accurate. If he did not send anyone over,

, that seems too rigid. The leader is killing the enemy at the front, and you just sit at the back and look like it? But if too many people are sent here, it will inevitably be suspected of disobeying the order. After all, there is no such thing in Morgan's instructions.

When it comes to deploying troops, to put it seriously, doing so is disobeying military orders on your own initiative. But sending a squad over to check on the situation in the name of escorting supplies seems very safe.

After waiting patiently all night, Morgan and the more than 20 soldiers under his command finally waited for the appearance of the Hou Jin Army. In fact, it was close to noon when the Hou Jin Army appeared in sight, and this time coincided with Morgan's

Judging from his judgment, the only troops stationed at the Houjin stronghold ten miles to the north could arrive here at this time. The scale of the Houjin army dispatched this time was naturally much larger than that of the patrol, with more than 300 people.

, there were about fifty or sixty cavalry among them.

After the Hou Jin Army approached this hillock, they seemed a little at a loss because the safety signal agreed upon by the military was hung on the mountain. However, the cavalryman who had died of his injuries last night said that this place had been occupied by the Haihan Army and was patrolling.

He was the only one in the team who escaped alive from the killing array.

Naturally, gunshot wounds cannot be faked, so the officer leading the team quickly made a judgment that this safety signal was a deceptive move by the Haihan people. Of course, when Morgan made this deployment, he did not expect that this strategy of luring the enemy in would really work.

It worked. After all, as long as the horse can escape back, the Hou Jin Army will definitely realize that something is wrong here, and they will no longer be able to trust the safety signal.

But the Houjin officer who led the team made an extremely fatal mistake, that is, he did not realize the distance between the patrol and the attack point on the mountain when it was attacked. So when he led the team into the range of the sniper team, Morgan

Then the order to shoot was given.

Morgan did not expect to be able to completely annihilate this Jin army, but he had to keep the opponent's leader here to destroy the enemy's will to fight. So when gunshots were heard on the hill, the leader

The officer and the adjutant who was riding beside him were shot several times and were killed when the battle just started.

This situation immediately triggered chaos in the Hou Jin army. The cavalry immediately surrounded the wounded and tried to cover them to escape from the battlefield. However, other people discovered that the target of the fire on the hill was only the cavalry, and immediately shouted and rushed towards the vicinity.

on the hillside, hoping to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat before the opponent changes their target.

The sniper team on the mountain was guarded by more than a dozen quick rifles from the special operations battalion, so they did not pay attention to the dozens of Houjin soldiers who had quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain, and continued to shoot and kill the cavalry team who had already started to collapse.

The Houjin soldiers who tried to rush up the hillside also encountered the first round of gunfire. The barrels of guns protruding from the forest were aimed at them condescendingly. After a burst of gunfire, seven or eight people fell.

When the survivors had the slightest chance to breathe, a second round of volleys was fired on the slope. The Houjin soldiers who had just straightened up were shot down by several more people, and the vine shields in their hands were almost completely defenseless against this attack method.

, even if it is held in front of the body, it will be easily penetrated by bullets.

At this time, some people have already thought of the terrible continuous firecrackers that appeared during the battle with the Haihan Army last year. If you want to rush up the mountain with such intensive firepower, you may need several times more troops.

hope.

Sure enough, the third and fourth rounds of volleys soon fell on their heads. Almost all the Houjin soldiers who were still determined to charge upward fell down in these two rounds of shooting, and those who were left with their bodies

Those who were lying on the ground or huddled trembling behind a big tree had a chance to escape. However, once this kind of fire suppression was established, it would be difficult to escape safely from the range.

Morgan and his snipers calmly continued to shoot at the chaotic Houjin army at the bottom of the mountain. With the special operations battalion guarding the passage up the mountain, they could concentrate on aiming at distant targets and attack them one by one.

Killing. But at the combat range that sniper rifles specialize in, the Hou Jin army had no way to fight back and could only simply be passively beaten.

Realizing that the situation was not good, the Houjin cavalry turned their horses and began to leave the battlefield. However, the infantry who could only rely on two legs had a hard time. To escape from the range of the sniper rifle, it would take them at least longer than the cavalry.

Three or four times more, and this is enough for them to pass by the gate of hell several times.

Although the gunfire was intensive and the battle was fierce, it was ultimately a one-sided ambush that could not last too long. After about ten minutes, the gunfire stopped. In the end, more than half of the Jin army succeeded.

They escaped, but the corpses and blood stains on the snowy field clearly showed the result of their tragic defeat.
