Chapter 229 Shelling Tong'an
At this time, the defeated troops of the officers and soldiers had been sparsely pulled away for a few miles and fled towards the mountain pass one by one, and had completely lost their command.
Suddenly, the mountain pass was blocked by the sea wolf again, which made the officers and soldiers even more panicked. Some officers and soldiers running in front of them saw their companions thrown to the ground by sea platoon guns. They were so scared that they lost the guy and turned around and ran into the valley, and collided with the escaped soldiers.
Liu Wutang, under the escort of his own soldiers, finally ran to the mountain pass, and saw the defeated soldiers running in front of him turn around and rush back, and heard the sound of gunfire from the mountain pass.
"What happened before!" Liu Wutang was so panicked that he was stunned at this time and hurriedly asked the defeated soldiers who ran back.
"There is a thief army in Yamaguchi! They sealed the pass! All the people who ran there were killed! We can't get out! ..." A man who looked like a small officer stood on his feet and pointed to the mountain pass behind him and shouted to Liu Wutang in panic.
Liu Wutang cried bitterly as soon as he heard it and secretly said that I would die! Now there are blocks in the front, chasers in the back, and there are mountains on both sides. It's really called every day, and the ground is not working.
At this time, more and more officers and soldiers gathered here, and some generals who were separated from their men saw Liu Wutang, so they came tremblingly to ask for instructions on what to do.
At this time, Liu Wutang could only grit his teeth and insist. He turned his head and looked at the approaching pursuers behind him and roared fiercely, "What else can we do now? Only when you follow the general out can you have a way to live, otherwise you will be ruined here! Gather together, and you will rush with me. If anyone wants to turn around and escape back, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone!"
After being yelled by Liu Wutang, the defeated soldiers had a little backbone, so they agreed one after another and began to rush towards the mountain pass under the supervision of Liu Wutang.
Now they are fighting the battle of trapped beasts. If they can't rush out, they will all be finished. So at this time, even if they are defeated soldiers, they have somewhat aroused some fire. One by one, they gritted their teeth and clenched the weapons in their hands. Some people lost their weapons in panic because they fled for their lives just now. At this time, only They can run forward with bare hands. Some people bow their heads and pick up a stone and hold it in their hands to embolden themselves.
More than a thousand officers and soldiers, led by Liu Wutang, rushed towards the mountain pass.
At this time, the two infantry companies of sea wolf land soldiers blocked at the mountain pass, but these two companies are the elite of the sea wolf infantry. One of the companies is still a battalion of wolf tooth rifle companies, and the other is also the earliest company, mostly composed of veterans.
These two companies were under the command of the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion. In fact, last night, they had secretly moved to the mountain pass and found a place to hide. When the officers entered the mountain, they quietly did not make any obstruction and watched the officers enter the mountain from afar.
It was not until the afternoon that the scout sent back the news that the officers and soldiers had been defeated in front and retreated back that the deputy battalion commander led two companies to kill from both sides of the mountain pass and blocked the way of the officers and soldiers.
500 to 2,000, the number of the officers still has an advantage, and the officers are a defeated soldier who jumps over the wall to escape. Although the morale is not high, he has been desperate at this time.
So this deputy battalion commander dares not be too careless. In case they are accidentally dispersed by the army, they will be humiliated.
So he immediately ordered the wolftooth rifle company that followed him to line up in the middle, standing in three rows, standing in the middle of the mountain pass, and the other company lined up on both sides of the company, and the long gunners were ready to move forward at any time.
When watching the defeated soldiers of one or two thousand soldiers, howling and rushing out of the valley, the deputy battalion commander gave an order, and the wolf-tooth rifle company arranged in the middle began to shoot all the guns.
This time, they didn't dare to put the officers and soldiers too close to open fire. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were nearly 300 steps away from them, they began to shoot all at once.
Even if the sniper is allowed to aim and shoot at this distance, it may not have a high hit rate, but it is not a problem for the platoon gun volley.
The wolf-tooth rifle is still quite lethal at a distance of 300 meters. At least there is no problem in killing armorless personnel.
The platoon shot does not pursue accurate shooting, but relies on dense bullet screens to block the enemy, so a distance of 300 meters is still possible.
The officers and soldiers were unknown. When they saw that they were still nearly 300 steps away from the thieves who were blocked in the mountain pass, the thieves began to shoot at the same line.
The officers and soldiers rushing in front of them did not feel nervous. They still shouted and held knives and guns and rushed to the mountain pass.
But after passing in an instant, some of them running in front of them suddenly fell to the ground and made a scream. Some people spewed out blood arrows. Only then did the defeated soldiers find that the sea wolf's * can fight so far and can also knock people over.
This scared the officers and soldiers half to death. What is the concept of 300 steps? Even if they pull their hair over and fight, they may not be able to fight 300 steps away. Their tiger squat cannon can only hit 30 to 50 steps at best, while the pirate's * can kill them at a distance of 300 steps. .
You should know that these 300-step distance, even if they are allowed to rush forward at full speed, they will have to run for a long time. The sea wolf's * can shoot many times, which has been experienced by some officers and soldiers, because they have just tasted the pain of sea wolf * shooting together.
Seawolf's * volley shooting, the highest record for a single person in a minute is three shots. Ordinary * hands can generally shoot two shots. When using three-stage strikes, three rows of * hands can shoot alternately and shoot six times together. 300 steps, even if the fastest infantry charge, it will take five to six minutes. During this period, the sea wolf can He shot nearly 30 rows in full.
Every time a company of sea wolf's * hand can be fired, about 70 projectiles can be fired. In this way, when the officers and soldiers rush to their eyes, a company of sea wolf can fire more than 2,000 bullets.
This is not to mention the nearly 150 * hands with smoothbore lance guns in another company. When the officers and soldiers approach the distance of these * hands about 80 steps, these * hands can also be added to the volley, so there is little possibility that the officers and soldiers want to rush to the sea wolf queue.
Of course, no one will calculate this at this time. After receiving a platoon gun, the officers and soldiers did not stop moving forward. Under the supervision of Liu Wutang, a large number of defeated soldiers still rolled forward to escape for their lives.
The sea wolf infantry blocked in the mountain pass did not dare to relax. After the first shot was released, they began to shoot three platoon guns. Three rows of * hands alternated forward and kept shooting at the officers and soldiers rushing through the valley.
The whole mountain pass also became lively at this time, and the sound of gunfire came one after another. The officers and soldiers were turned to the ground one after another, still rolling forward.
The people in front of them were knocked to the ground, and the officers and soldiers behind were forced to move forward, stepping on the fallen bodies and the injured on the ground, and continued to move forward. Because they had no way out at this time, they could only grit their teeth and head forward.
Of course, some officers and soldiers were unwilling to be killed like this. They rushed to see more and more uniforms in front of them being knocked to the ground, so they stopped. Some people turned around and began to flee back, but behind them were Liu Wutang leading his own soldiers to supervise the battle, and they turned over some of the defeated soldiers who fled back.
These defeated soldiers are in bad luck at this moment. There is a dense barrage blocking their progress. If they go forward, they will be killed, but if they turn around and run, they will be cut down by their commander's soldiers.
The defeated soldiers were even more chaotic. Some smart officers and soldiers looked at whether they were dead or running backward, so they simply did not look forward or backward, and directly climbed towards the mountains on both sides.
After suffering huge losses, the officers and soldiers were unable to rush to the mountain pass. More and more officers and soldiers began to lose their guys and climb to the mountains on both sides. More and more officers and soldiers were killed in the mountain pass. Therefore, the courage finally summoned by the officers and soldiers was completely exhausted at this time. The remaining more than 1,000 officers and soldiers were finally Yu could no longer stand such a massacre and fled to the valley again.
Liu Wutang is depressed in the team! In the blink of an eye, he was trapped in the middle of the defeated soldiers and began to run for his life. At this time, Liu Wutang finally understood that their Ming army was really good compared with these sea wolves!
Where are these pirates? These people are simply fierce gods! It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck to be transferred to deal with them this time. Now he hasn't thought about it for a long time. The only thing he has to consider next is how to save his life! As for how to pursue responsibility afterwards, it will be a matter of the future. In short, if you die here, everything will be finished!
Liu Wutang had completely lost his fighting spirit at this time. He was wrapped in a chaotic army and fled back to the valley.
When it was dark, a team of officers and soldiers put down their weapons in the valley, took off their armor, and were brought to ropes by the sea wolf infantry. They tied their wrists in groups of ten and began to be escorted back to the temporary camp in Luotian Village.
Liu Wutang himself, who was also desperate, finally chose to surrender and was put up by Meng Fei alone and put in another place.
Just when Meng Fei led the second battalion to win a big victory in Luotian Village, at the same time, there were gunfire and gunfire on the side of Tong'an County.
Several 12-pound cannons were unloaded from the big ship to the small boat by the sea wolf, and then transported to Dongxi on the east side of Tong'an County, and unloaded to the shore outside the city.
Li Dazui led the first battalion of the army and built an artillery position outside the city, taking local materials and building a artillery base.
Six 12-pound cannons were lined up, and the muzzle was raised and aimed at Tong'an County. While the battle in Luotian Village began, Li Dazui also led his troops to fight against Tong'an County.
Six 12-pound long guns were mounted in a battery 400 steps away from the north of the city. From the morning, they launched a shelling of Tong'an County.
After several volley shots, the six cannons began to shoot alternately. The shells roared on the top of the city, and the bricks and stones flew wildly on the wall.
(The task is completed today, go to the hospital quickly! Brothers, for the face of my hard work, give me some monthly tickets! Thank you very much! Continue tomorrow!)
