Why is an arresting force equipped with this kind of weapon?
The main book trembled and wiped the blood off his face-most of the firearms
in his impression were dead and heavy. It might be effective to use it to
defend the city, but almost no one in the field would carry this thing in
battle, at least not in the Shenzhou Garrison. The firearms they received were
also used when the Shangguan visited, and they were basically locked in the
warehouse for storage.
What's more, this is a midwinter that is extremely inconvenient to march!
No, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. These heavy firearms were not
transported by humans from Jinxia City. They were probably hung on the black
behemoth from the beginning.
After more than ten breaths, the sound of gunfire came from a distance again.
No one dared to show up again this time, everyone lowered their bodies, lest
the thing fall on themselves. Some fainthearted people even climbed down the
wooden frame quietly and found a thick place at the bottom of the city wall to
roll up.
But the target of the artillery was not the guard at the wall.
It wasn't until the stabbing sound of the wood being shredded from behind that
Master Zhang realized that the first thing the other party wanted to remove
was the guard tower and watchtower around the North Gate.
He turned his head and saw that most of the pillars of a wooden guard tower
had been cut off, and broken pieces of wood were scattered all over the
ground. However, this does not mean that the guard tower has escaped. Under
the condition of its own weight imbalance, it slowly tilted to the side of the
shot, and finally fell to the ground with a series of crackling sounds like
firecrackers. During the entire process, someone jumped out of the tower one
after another. The height of ten feet would not kill anyone, but the crossbow
in the tower was obviously unable to keep it.
Can't go on like this!
Master Zhang knew in his heart that the battle had just begun, and Baisha City
was already in a passive position where he could only be beaten. This was
definitely a heavy blow to morale.
In other words, these private soldiers did not take this fight seriously at
the beginning-in their minds, the number advantage is everything. Whether it
is a dispute between the rivers and lakes or a gang fight, more people means
victory. But this is definitely not the case on the battlefield. The most
important thing in the confrontation between the two armies is morale. Once
morale collapses, tens of thousands of troops may be hunted down like pigs by
thousands.
This trend is now seen on the city walls. After being hit head-on by the
Jinxia apprehensive troops, most of them were obviously beaten up, leaning
against the wall sluggishly, and the noise of the previous theater has
disappeared without a trace. , For a time only the wind and the rhythmic roar
in the distance remained on the entire wall.
They didn't realize that they only lost a few people and a sentry tower!
Continuing to defend the city is absolutely waiting to die, Baisha City must
take the initiative to attack!
Master Zhang put his hope on the teams of Fei and Tang.
He shouted to the guard at the north gate, "Open the gate, everyone is ready
to go out of the city to kill the enemy!"
"Out of town now? Your lord, are you sure?"
"Without the city wall, isn't everyone a target?"
"Why doesn't he go by himself?"
All kinds of controversy sounded for a while.
"This is an order! Listen to me well—" Master Zhang had long expected that it
would not go so smoothly. "There are only a hundred rebels, and you are ten
times more than this. As long as you rush to them, this battle We will win!
Whoever wins the head will be rewarded many times by the county magistrate.
One head, ten taels of silver!"
In other words, in order to defeat this group of people, the county government
had to pay at least a thousand taels of silver. Although it is a bit painful,
in order to improve morale, it can only be done at critical times.
"The master book is right!" someone from Fei's private soldier responded
loudly, "Don't look at the other party's thunder, in fact the rain drops are
very small! Kill them in front of them from the city in a blink of an eye, and
they can How many rounds? Wu is not talented and is willing to charge for the
adults. If you want to receive a reward, follow me!"
The loud and loud voice of this person is obviously not an ordinary person.
He is probably one of the people who were moved by Master Fei before-"Swallow"
Wu Shuang. Knowing the opportunity, the master book quickly ordered, "Beat the
drum, blow the trumpet! Hold the battle for this warrior!"
"Kill the thief and get the reward!"
Amidst the billowing trumpets, the city gate slowly opened, and Wu Shuang took
the lead, leading more than two hundred people to rush out of Baisha City.
This move greatly encouraged other private soldiers.
Indeed, there are so many enemies. If you are killed, wouldn't you not be able
to divide it? Now someone rushes in front to attract firepower, it is
impossible for the iron ball to fall on one's head impartially, right?
This idea quickly became a consensus.
"Kill the thief and get the reward!"
"Kill the thief and get the reward!"
More and more people followed, swarming to kill the Jinxia troops-this stream
of people quickly gathered into a turbulent wave of seven or eight hundred
people!
...
"Oh? I still have the courage to go out of the city and take the initiative to
break the game. It seems that these people are not useless." Ning Wanjun
noticed the change in the situation for the first time through the observation
window in front of the guard.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to go up?" Qiuyue asked, turning her head.
"No, let's leave it to the infantry team." Although the princess wanted to
control the car to take a big step and enter the enemy formation from the
front, she finally resisted the impulse.
She has not forgotten the purpose of this trip-to use actual combat to
practice the coordinated combat between organ beasts and ordinary soldiers.
She didn't need her special instructions. The carefully selected soldiers
behind them were ready for the war. Except for the five who fired the
artillery group, the other fifteen people had taken off their air rifles and
installed the gas tanks in front of the gun.
The square guards on both sides of the organ beast are natural bunkers. The
infantry can aim and shoot from a standing position, and light all the bullets
in the magazine in one go. When the artillery needed to fire, they would
return to the back of the organ beast, taking the opportunity to reload
ammunition or replace the gas tank.
The artillery also replaced the hammer ball with a shotgun.
From the moment the enemy rushed out of the city gate, it was already within
the range of the artillery.
The snow slowed down the opponent's charging speed. When they finally stepped
on a deep and shallow snow pit to reach a distance of 100 paces, the infantry
team pulled the trigger of the air rifle.
In an instant, countless small snow pillars splashed on the ground-unlike the
flintlock that fired a shot and reloaded once, the air rifle could fire
continuously before the gas tank was lighted, which made the firepower density
of more than seventy guns better than The musket formation of three or four
hundred people was still much higher, and the enemy rushing in front fell down
instantly!
Because the air rifle’s firing sound is extremely low~www.mtlnovel.com~ the
attackers don’t know what kind of attack they are facing. They can only see
the people around them fall down one by one, with blood flowing out of their
bodies, and the opponent is just Hidden behind the square shield, from time to
time "glanced" here.
The morale that was hard to lift up began to flow away quickly again—because I
had never seen it before, so I didn’t even know how to deal with it. Everyone
straightened their chests, hoping to speed up and approach the Jinxia people,
but the closer they got. The ** beast, the more people fall.
Obviously it was close enough that even the opponent's expression could be
seen, but the last distance could not be crossed anyway, as if there was an
invisible barrier between the two sides, and anyone who stepped into it would
suffer inexplicable death.
The last thing that destroyed their courage was the raised guard. This time,
the muzzle almost spewed scorching flames in front of them!
The private soldiers dropped their weapons, turned around in horror and fled.
Ning Wanjun immediately issued the last order--
"Infantry, follow me into the city!"
Suzaku stood up suddenly and strode towards the deserter!
