Chapter 464 Breaking through the Line of Defense

Almost at the moment when Jiannu's defense line was about to break through, a green signal flare suddenly shot up into the sky. The soldiers of the second echelon, who were ready to go, immediately launched a desperate attack towards Jiannu's depth, and at the same time,

At the same time, the artillery was also rapidly shelling deep into Jiannu.

The artillery shells were fired round after round. In addition to grenades, there were also shrapnel shells. However, due to the cover of the long trench, the Ming army's shelling did not cause many casualties.

Han Run, who was in the second long trench, saw the Ming army attacking here. Although the shells fired from the gun platform occasionally claimed the lives of the Ming army, he saw them entering only twenty meters away from him.

When the location is many feet away.

"Quick! Fire the gun!"

Tong Guoji shouted loudly.

On the battlefield, dozens of squatting tiger cannons deployed along the parapets of long trenches were set alight at the same time. With the roar of dozens of cannons, the cannonballs ejected from the squatting tiger cannons were wrapped in thick smoke and sprayed forward, although there was no

It had the effect of sweeping across dozens of miles, but it still defeated a dozen warriors charging in front.

"Fire the gun!"

Han Run shouted at the top of his lungs, and the gunman holding the stone-haired gun quickly pulled the trigger. Under the impact of flint, the dull gunshots of the muskets echoed on the battlefield, and lead bullets were spitting out in front of the trench.

.

The musketeers of the Jiannu slaves took turns shooting in the long trench. Under the training of the Dutch, they were able to figure out how to use muskets. Thousands of muskets formed a dense firepower in front of the breastwork, and soon the approaching enemy was approaching.

The soldiers fought back. The charging soldiers were knocked to the ground by gunmen deployed along the second long trench before they could rush over.

Although the sight of the soldiers was obstructed by the flying bullets and the smoke, the soldiers who had broken through the first long trench did not hesitate. They immediately jumped to the nearby communication trench dug by the Qing army.

"Jump into the trench..."

When they jumped into the trench leading to the second long trench, trying to avoid the shells coming from around them, Han Run looked at Tong Guoyu and nodded at the same time.

"Prepare for a thousand enemies!"

"Ten thousand enemies!"

The green battalion soldiers immediately brought out several large wooden boxes, containing a large black iron ball.

This is the enemy of ten thousand people!

This is a weapon made by the Tong State. Its structure is similar to that of a cannonball, but it is heavier and larger. It weighs a hundred kilograms. The hollow iron shell is filled with gunpowder. When the enemy attacks the city, the fuse is lit and thrown under the city.

It will roll several feet on the ground and then explode. The power of the explosion of dozens of kilograms of gunpowder is by no means comparable to that of ordinary artillery shells. According to Tong Guoyu's estimation, such an "enemy of ten thousand people" can kill at least dozens of people.

People, even hundreds of people.

Seeing that the Ming army had already rushed over, Tong Guoyu shouted loudly.

"put!"

Following an order, a dozen large, lighted iron balls were thrown out from the parapet of the long trench temporarily blocked by the slaves. No one noticed that the long trench had some slopes, and the lighted iron balls rolled straight away.

It fell down, and although its speed was not fast, it only took a few breaths to roll into the ranks of the Ming army.

"bomb!"

Although the soldiers didn't know what this thing was, they saw it rolling over and emitting white smoke from time to time, and immediately realized that this thing would definitely explode.

Almost as soon as their shouts fell, suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield. The billowing smoke instantly swallowed up the soldiers in the trench. Some soldiers who had not hurriedly fell down were even directly blown away.

into mid-air.

Although some of the dozens of "ten thousand enemies" thrown by Jiannu were blocked by bomb craters, violent explosions still broke out in the craters. In the continuous explosions, clouds of smoke rose from time to time in Jiannu's transportation trenches.

Huge smoke cloud.

Seeing his brothers falling down in batches after being blown up by bombs in the trench, Niu Jinxing's eyes were split open. He had just been promoted to Chief Qian, and he never expected to encounter such a situation.

"Blow it up with a grenade!"

His eyes turned red and he immediately yelled.

Several soldiers immediately began to approach and drop bombs. However, under the continuous blows from Jiannu's Fran machine guns and muskets, and the rain of bullets flying everywhere inside and outside the long trench, no soldier could break into the bombing distance along the long trench. On the contrary,

It was in vain that several people were injured or killed.

"Mr. Qian, such a blind attack will cause too many casualties. I think we should withdraw the troops..."

Within ten minutes of breaking into the traffic trench, dozens of people were already injured or killed.

Staring at the squatting cannon at the end of Jiannu's long trench, Niu Jinxing shouted loudly.

"Go and let the artillery push the nine kilograms of mountain melons over here!"

Niu Jinxing ordered loudly.

"Are they the only ones with cannons? We have cannons too!"

Because the nine-pound mountain grenades are extremely light, every headquarters is equipped with three nine-pound mountain grenades. In the previous assault, the gunners did not accompany them, but now that the attack was frustrated, Niu Jinxing naturally thought of his own cannon.

While they were waiting for the gunners to arrive, the soldiers in the first long trench of the trench began to build parapets. The soldiers hid behind the parapets and fired at Jiannu across the open area, although their muskets were not rifled guns.

, but the single-head projectile structure also ensured their accuracy at a distance of 100 meters. Although the Jiannu behind the breastwork desperately used Fran machine guns and firecrackers to fight back, under such a technical gap, their firepower was very fast.

It was suppressed.

While he was loading bullets, Park Yiman heard a scream from someone beside him. A damp heat immediately spread across his cold face, and the flying brains splashed all over his face.

"The Ming army's muskets are so accurate!"

Swallowing nervously, Park Yiman took a deep breath, exposed his head again, and pulled the trigger without even aiming towards the opposite side, even though he was filled with fear.

After the gunfire, Park Yiman didn't know whether it hit the Ming army. In fact, how could it hit the target at such a long distance?

But the Ming army’s guns were accurate!

Seeing green soldiers falling down screaming and being shot in the long trench, Tong Guo's expression became more and more nervous.

He knew that in such a competition of firepower, the Qing Dynasty would definitely not be able to match the Ming army. If nothing else, even if it was gunpowder, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to defeat them. Even now they have exhausted all methods, but the Ming army still broke through easily.

their line of defense.

If the fighting continues like this, this long trench will change hands sooner or later. Even if they fire at each other from across the trench, the Green Camp soldiers will definitely not be their opponents. Now the Ming army is just firing volleys of firecrackers. After a while, their artillery fire will definitely be

They will come over, and the next step will definitely be a more powerful artillery attack!

"cannon!"

Suddenly, at this moment, someone with sharp eyes pointed at the long trench and shouted loudly. They saw that the Ming army actually pushed the cannon into the long trench. As soon as he saw the cannon, Tong Guoyu's heart tightened. He told Ahadan

said.

"Ahadan, quickly, retreat quickly, this long trench cannot be defended."

In fact, according to the plan made by the emperor before, Tong Guoyu should take the opportunity to launch a counterattack when the Ming army attacked. However, the momentum of the Ming army far exceeded the emperor's imagination. They didn't even wait to break through the first trench and headed straight towards the second trench.

Two long trenches rushed over, and the emperor's plan was completely disrupted. Not only that, even the green soldiers in the front trench fled back as if they were running away when they saw that their way back was cut off.

The attack of these Ming troops was simply reckless, without considering life and death, and without even giving them any time to delay the next attack, they launched a desperate attack to the rear.

And they reacted quickly. Although the assault was repelled for a time, they just took a breather and pushed the cannon over. No matter how perfect the plan was, they didn't take this into consideration. It wouldn't take long before they

The cannons will blast away everything in their path.

Dense bullets were whizzing overhead, and the gunmen continued to suffer casualties. At this time, they had stopped shooting completely, and they huddled in the trench in fear. Although the green battalion, which is mainly composed of Koreans, has not yet collapsed, it is only a matter of time.

.

It won't take long for this place to fall, and he may die here. At this moment, as if confirming his previous speculation, a cannon shot suddenly came from over there, and he saw the Ming army that was originally blocking

A cloud of thick smoke exploded from behind the earthen wall, and the gunners behind the wall were immediately killed and wounded.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Han Run was decisive and immediately said loudly.
