Chapter 53 Stone Bridge Attack and Defense 3
I only heard a burst of ping-pong sound almost instantly, giving people the illusion that it was only ringing, but a row of smoke spewed out in front of the battle.
Suddenly, the seven or eight officers and soldiers rushed to the front seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground with a scream. Some unlucky guys were hit with two or three projectiles almost at the same time. The round projectiles could not penetrate their bodies at all, but they transmitted all the energy carried on the bullets. On them, even if they were wearing armor, they could not stop the penetration of the projectile. Some of them almost flew backwards and hit the crowd behind them heavily, so that the officers and soldiers who had just crossed the bridge were too late to form a formation, so they were once again disrupted.
"There is one in the second row. The gun is flat and aimed... release!" The second row of queues will immediately roar and order after seeing the first row of fireguns release their guns. However, the first firearmor who discharged the gun did not check his shooting effect at all, because Xing Tianjun has strict rules. After firing the fire, the firearmor must not check the shooting effect and must immediately start reloading. The reason is very simple. After the black gunpowder burns, a large amount of gunpowder will spewed out. After the fire, There will be gunpowder smoke in front of you, and you can't see the affairs in front of you at all. Instead of wasting time waiting for the gunpowder smoke to dissipate, it is better to use this time to reload it. Therefore, the fireman in the first row strictly implemented this military rule. As soon as the gunshot fell, he immediately put the medicine pool at the back of the bird's gun to his mouth and vigorously put the medicine in the medicine pool. After blowing off the slag, he put the bird pestle on the ground, began to take out the packaged fixed ammunition, bite the plug of the bamboo pipe, immediately poured gunpowder and projectile into the gun, and then pulled out the stick under the pipe, inserted it into the pipe, and pounded the ammunition...
The second row of firearms also put down the birdarms on their shoulders... Another piece of gunpowder smoke rose up, and dozens of projectiles flew out of the mouth again...
After the three rows of birds were released, the soil slope blocking the bridge was already filled with the smoke from the fire. It was almost impossible to see the position of the fire, but after the baptism of three rounds of birds, the bridge had already become like hell. The first 20 or 30 officers and soldiers who rushed over the bridge were bombed so densely. Under the baptism of rain, they all fell into a pool of blood.
The damage caused by the bullet of the bird's bullet is far more difficult to treat than ordinary arrow wounds or even knife wounds. After being hit by the bullet into the body, some cloth fibers of clothes will also be brought into the wound. Similarly, a large number of bacteria and residual particles of gunpowder will also be brought into the wound. In addition, the wound is open. A torn wound can even cause the fracture of bones. In addition, there are backward medical methods. Generally, it is difficult for people to survive after being shot. Even if they are only hit by the arms and legs, the ending is often the same.
The officers and soldiers who were just extremely excited were a little stunned at this time. They didn't expect that the firepower of the pole was so fierce. The dense rain of bullets blocked the bridge and knocked over the soldiers who rushed across the bridge to the ground one by one. They couldn't help but be so scared that some officers and soldiers stopped their footsteps and looked at the horizontal in front of them. The robes lying down, some of them were just injured and not dead. They were crying desperately, which scared the people behind them to carry the people behind them and dared not rush forward again.
"Arrow!" Luo Li held a hard bow once five buckets, twisted his waist and opened his arms. The bow body of the step bow in his hand creaked, and then opened the bow round. While loosening the bow string of his right hand, he also roared loudly.
Nearly a hundred archers pulled the bow string together and pointed the sharp arrow to the mid-air in front of them. Hearing a roar of Luo Li, they immediately loosened the bow string together.
More than a hundred carved arrows soared into the sky at the same time, drawing arcs in the sky, floating out like a dark cloud, quickly floating above the stone bridge, and then falling down with the ferocious sound of death.
The archers were behind the fireman, so they did not shoot directly, but shot the arrow out, thus increasing the range of the bow and arrow, so that it immediately covered the top of the head of the dense officers and soldiers squeezed on the stone bridge. Although this could not guarantee the accuracy of the head, For such half-baked archers such as Xing Tianjun, Xiao Tianjian did not expect their archery to be fascinated, and this kind of shooting method covered by arrow rain may be their best way to make up for their lack of accuracy by quantity. There is no better way to deal with such a dense enemy. It's suitable.
A sharp arrow fell, heavily inserted into the crowd, nailed to the human body, making a toothy sound, and many officers and soldiers on the bridge made a sad scream, covering the wounds of the arrow on the ground one after another.
Lv Pin's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the enemy in front of him was the mob they had just seen. This was just a few breaths. It was not a face to face, and dozens of officers and soldiers under his command had been killed and injured. Such a result was really difficult for him to accept. He saw his men following him. The soldiers who had been born and died for several years fell into the pool of blood one by one, and Lv Pin suddenly let out a roar like a beast.
He pushed away a man who was in the way in front of him, roared across the body of a subordinate who fell on the bridge, and strode forward.
"The bow and crossbow put the arrow! Are you still stunned? Can't you wait to die?" He kicked the back of a soldier with a bow, kicked him and roared angrily.
The officers and soldiers who were stunned for a moment remembered that the guy in their hands was not a dry meal, so they opened their bows one after another on the bridge and began to launch arrows to counterattack. A sharp arrow immediately rose from the officers and army and rushed straight to the group of officers of the Xingtian Army who blocked the bridge.
A fireman standing in the front row had just finished loading. Once again, in the roar of the left team, he flattened the bird on his shoulder. Before he aimed at the target, a sharp arrow shot him in the face. Instead of giving him a chance to react, he hit his face and shot him on his back to the sky. When it went down, the bird was also thrown on the ground.
Some of the archers in the officer's army are veterans who have been on the battlefield. The archery is very accurate. Although they hurriedly released arrows and counterattacked, they immediately caused a lot of killing and injuries to the front row of the Xingtian Army. At least three or four archers were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground, and some of the arrows in their hands were not broken. Open the armor on their bodies, but it also scared them. With a trembling of their hands, they pressed the faucet, and two or three shots sounded.
"Who fired the gun? Out of the column, step back!" The team immediately roared, and the three flared firearms quickly stepped out and retreated to the back to reload. What was waiting for them was after this battle, and they must be attacked by military sticks.
No one cared about them for the time being. The fireman who had just let go of a round of firemans began to fire on the bridge in rows again.
For a moment, the west of the bridge was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the bows and arrows of the two sides were staggered in the air. The whistling sound of cutting through the air filled the space of the bridge head. The officers and soldiers of Lv Pin on the bridge fell on the bridge in rows like rice. They could not rush across the stone bridge and kill in front of Xing Tianjun.
He Renlong stared at the direction of the bridge, and his big mouth slightly opened for a long time without saying a word. Looking at the situation on the west bank of the stone bridge, the whip unconsciously slipped from his hand to the ground.
Is this really the civilian army that blocked the bridge just now? Why did they suddenly become so powerful? For a moment, He Renlong felt that his brain was a little bad, and stared at the battlefield hundreds of steps ahead.
It's not that he doesn't have cannons. At this time, his cannons are also hitting Zhenghuan, but their cannonballs have been concentrated on the mound on the southwest side of the bridge according to He Renlong's instructions just now, hitting the earth and stones on the mound, while several thieves' cannons at the mound on the opposite side have never been dumb and still Open fire in the direction of the east of the river.
The shells of both sides flew in the air, and the shells of the thief army fell more and more accurately in the artillery array of the officers. After a while, two or three cannons under He Renlong's command were overturned, and the gunners suffered heavy losses, and more than 20 of them were carried down one after another. Obviously, the guns of the officers were both quantity and quality. The amount is dominant, but he can't win the gun battle, but suffer losses one after another, which makes He Renlong can't help but be a little discouraged and furious.
"Don't shoot against the artillery of the thieves! Quickly turn the muzzle and scatter those thief soldiers! Let Lv Pin cross the bridge quickly!" After a long time, He Renlong finally realized that something was wrong. Originally, his cannon was to provide cover for Lv Pin, but he was attracted by the artillery of the thief army. Lv Pin's officers and soldiers were crushed on the bridge surface by the enemy and could not rush across the stone bridge. He Renlong was almost mad at this moment.
However, he also realized that he was fooled by this Xingtian Army today. This Xingtian Army is not a mob at all. Otherwise, they would not have been able to defeat the officers and soldiers in Yanyang twice in a row. Today, they clearly hid their strength at the beginning, which made him underestimate his opponent, so that as soon as they fought, he ate a big Loss.
At this time, it was the soldiers on the side of Xing Tianjun who were in a very different mood from He Renlong. Xiao Tianjian took the lead in standing behind the battle and watched the situation in front of him. With Xiao Tianjian, everyone showed joy. Yan Chongxi and others, who had not yet joined the battle, cheered repeatedly and laughed loudly for the killing of the officers on the bridge. The firemen and archers cheered loudly.
Lv Pin mobilized his knife player on the bridge, raised the rattan shield and rushed several times. As a result, in addition to paying a greater price, he still failed to rush across the stone bridge. He was blocked on the stone bridge, and batch after batch of thieves blocked by the stone bridge were put on the surface of the stone bridge.
Lv Pin is so angry! Originally, he eagerly led the troops to come to ask for money. After making a good contribution, he waited to get promoted and make a fortune, but he didn't want to get it at all. Not to mention that his soldiers lost a lot. Seeing his men fall one after another, he couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed a big shield and protected him. He shouted, "Brothers, follow me and rush over!" If it goes on like this, no one will be able to please you! Kill it!"
After calling, he rushed forward, and the dozen soldiers who protected him did not dare to neglect. They immediately followed the body under his feet and stumbled to the bridge again.
"Nine-headed bird! Have you finished filling it? Xiao Tianjian saw another group of officers and soldiers rushing brazenly towards the west of the bridge. The leader was obviously a general in the army, so he immediately asked the subordinates who operated the gun in the battle.
A chief immediately replied loudly, "General, it's all filled in!"
"Ke back these officers and soldiers!" Xiao Tianjian pointed the whip to the stone bridge and shouted loudly to the chief.
The five-bar gun was mounted on the tripod again, and only a few muffled sounds were heard. The five-bar gun began to get angry again, and as soon as it was raining, it swept to the end of the bridge.
Lv Pin led dozens of subordinates to rush to the battle in person. As soon as he stepped out of the stone bridge, he only felt that the big shield in his hand suddenly shook, and his chest seemed to have been kicked heavily. He suddenly stopped and looked down. As a result, he saw three fist-like holes in the big shield in his hand, and looked at his chest again. As a result, he saw A hole also appeared on the armor of his right chest, and blood was coming out of the wound. He suddenly felt that the sky turned around, staggered a few steps, and stabilized himself on the ground with a waist knife.
"Cough..." A mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out of his mouth, and then looked up at the slope in front of him, and scolded, "Fit! This is terrible..." As soon as the words fell, he fell down.
Several soldiers hurriedly raised their shields around him, set him up, and immediately retreated...
