Chapter 55 Stone Bridge Attack and Defense 5

As Xiao Tianjian expected, when the gunners of the officers and soldiers advanced their general cannons and Fran machine guns to a distance of 200 steps away from the stone bridge, they did not dare to continue to push forward, but hurriedly used the shield car to cover their bodies, and began to load ammunition. Soon, they roared. He opened fire in the direction of Hexi and hit the head of the Hexi Bridge of the stone bridge with solid iron bullets.

The shells fell on the mounds and embankment in the west of the bridge one after another, making the earth and stones fly around in the west of the river, and a mass of smoke and dust were raised from time to time. Xiao Tianjian also immediately led the generals and retreated to the bottom of the earth embankment, only showing his head behind a few big willow trees on the river embankment to observe the actions of the officers and army.

When he saw that the cannons on his side roared one after another, causing the earth and stone to fly around the west of the bridge, and the thieves also hid one after another, the army immediately shouted, pushed their shield car, and began to accelerate towards the stone bridge.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were about to approach the stone bridge, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and ordered, "Go down and fire!"

Several Fran machine guns immediately roared, and a mass of gunpowder immediately rose on the river embankment and the mound. The gun trucks beat violently under the recoil and moved a few feet back a few feet away, and then even sounded Huang Shengqiang's broken gong-like roar: "Retired, clear the crate, change the son!" Hurry up!"

However, Xiao Tianjian was observing the landing point of the shells on the other side of the bridge. Several shells roared out of the chamber and landed on the east of the bridge one after another. Unfortunately, the first round of launch was really not flattering. Only one of the five shells fell into the array of officers and soldiers, overturned several officers and soldiers, and others Several shells fell around this group of officers and soldiers, and they could not kill or injure the officers and soldiers at all, let alone hit the shield car of the officers and soldiers. Moreover, the ground where the shell fell was a little soft. After the shell landed, it immediately fell into the soil and could not bounce on the ground one after another, so the power weakened a lot, which made Xiao Tianjian shake his head very much. Satisfied.

"Tell Huang Shengqiang that if he still fights like this in this round of fire, his artillery sentry will simply not do it! I'll replace him!" Xiao Tianjian turned his head and roared at his own soldiers.

The soldiers immediately rushed to Huang Shengqiang's position and loudly passed Xiao Tianjian's words to Huang Shengqiang.

Huang Shengqiang was very faceless. He kicked a gunner who was aiming and scolded, "It's all a group of fools. It's less than 200 steps. You are like this! What a mother of a bitch! Get out of here and let me aim!"

Huang Shengqiang lay on the body of the cannon. With the help of the gate and the quasi-star on the Fran machine gun, he carried the gun body and aimed at it carefully. He personally grabbed the red-hot iron brazzle and poked it into the fire gate.

With just a bang, the Fran cannon beat violently, and a thick smoke spewed out. Looking at the direction of the group of officers and soldiers in the distance, the front shield car collapsed on the ground even if fragments flew around, and several officers and soldiers pushing the shield car were also shaken out, and an unlucky officer and soldier was shaken to break the handle. He hit his lower abdomen, and the wood stubble was deeply inserted into his lower abdomen. He fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He pulled out the wood hard. As a result, a section of intestines were also brought out, which made the officers and soldiers around him tremble one by one, and they could only watch him die slowly.

Although the officers and soldiers were afraid, after all, they were generals who had seen a big scene, so they did not hesitate. Under the order of the officers, the rest of the shield cars gathered together again, protected the soldiers behind them, and continued to push the shield cars and rushed towards the stone bridge.

The shells of both sides roared through the air and kept falling on the other party's head. Unfortunately, the shells of both sides are solid, and the power is really limited. Except for hitting the other side, the killing effect is not good, so no matter how Huang Shengqiang accelerates the speed of firing, it still can't stop the officials. The soldiers pushed forward, but only defeated the three shields of the officers and soldiers, which did not kill much to the officers and soldiers.

Xiao Tianjian's face became solemn. The caution of this team of officers and soldiers made Xing Tianjun a little unable to attack them. After a few rounds of cannons were released, the damage to the enemy was limited, so he waved his hand and said, "Stop firing! Let them go to the bridge and fight again! Save some ammunition!"

Although Xing Tianjun has reserved some ammunition, after the consumption of the siege these days, their ammunition reserves have been consumed very quickly. Today, they have a gunfight with the officers and soldiers, so that half of the ammunition they brought with them will soon be consumed. There is still a battle to fight, so if they fight regardless of the cost. If he goes down, it will not take long for his gunpowder reserves to bottom out.

Before getting the new supplement, he had to limit the consumption of ammunition. When the provincial ammunition was finished, his cannons became the decoration of the deaf's ears.

There is no problem with the officers and soldiers. Their ammunition is much more sufficient than the Xingtian Army. What's more, as long as they return to Longzhou City, they can get a large number of replenishment. Therefore, the officers and soldiers on the east bank of the river have not stopped for a moment from the beginning. The officers and soldiers who operate the cannons struggled to load and fire one after another. The shells were free of charge and hit the west bank of the river, so that the people of the Xing Tianjun had to hide behind the embankment and did not dare to show up easily.

Seeing that the thief army no longer fired artillery to intercept them, the officers and soldiers immediately cheered: "The artillery of the thief army made the brothers behind us dumb! Go on! Rush over and avenge Mr. Lu Qian!" An officer pulled his neck and roared in the array. As soon as the officer heard it, he accelerated his speed and pushed towards the stone bridge. Soon the striker arrived at the stone bridge and prepared to push the two shield cars side by side on the stone bridge as a cover to attack the stone bridge.

At this time, they are less than a hundred steps away from the west bank of the river! Huang Shengqiang roared again. The three Fran machine guns in the south of the bridge opened fire almost at the same time, and then the two Fran machine guns in the north of the bridge also clicked.

The two shield cars that had just been retreated to the head of the bridge by the officers and soldiers immediately turned into two groups of debris, and the scattered racks were tilted at the head of the bridge, and the angry curses and screams of the officers and soldiers sounded at the end of the bridge.

But this time, the officers and soldiers were mentally prepared. They didn't wait for the gunmen of the Xing Tianjun to cheer and celebrate. They set up several extermination guns and small Fran machines removed from the chariots in Hedong, and rumbled towards the opposite bank. As a result, a Fran cannon on the other side of Huang Shengqiang in the south of the bridge, even if the gun was hit, it was overturned. Behind the mound, even two gunners were also affected and fell into a pool of blood.

As soon as these cannons sounded, two more tiger squatting cannons were placed out by the officers and soldiers. In a short time, they were clicked. The earth embankment in the north of the bridge suddenly split like a rainstorm. A lead even hit Xiao Tianjian's right arm. Fortunately, there was a tiger squat gun here. More than a hundred steps away, when the little lead flew here, he had no strength for a long time. He just made Xiao Tianjian's armor concave, which shocked Xiao Tianjian's right arm, but he did not hurt Xiao Tianjian, but he still scared several of his own soldiers around him and rushed up to drag Xiao Tianjian down.

"Make way! There is no danger here! Get out of here!" Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and drove Tie Tou and other guards aside, and continued to pay attention to the officers and soldiers in Qiaodong.

The officers and soldiers were cruel this time, intending to conquer the Dashi Bridge and kill Qiaoxi to fight with the Xing Tianjun, so they invited all the heavy guys out and bombarded the west of the bridge again.

Even some soldiers holding birds, regardless of whether they can hit the Xingtian Army or not, began to open fire to the west of the bridge.

"Idiot! Humph! A hundred steps away, fire with a bird's gun, and this is the only skill of He Renlong's training level!" After Xiao Tianjian looked at it, he immediately sneered.

On the one hand, he was surprised by the number of firearms of the Ming army, but on the other hand, he felt sad about the level of training of the Ming army. No wonder that the Ming army would be defeated in every battle with the case of such advanced firearms. The current situation just fully shows that the Ming army's level of training is only poor, and their officers. The command ability is so poor!

Looking back on Qi Jiajun, who was trained by Qi Jiguang, I really felt sorry for Qi Jiguang. As soon as he died, the Qi family army, which was finally trained, quickly fell into the long river of history. Even the way he trained was not inherited by the later Ming army generals. If the officers and soldiers could be like Qi Jiajun, I guess Touching these rebels, they are simply a plate of rotten dishes, and even the sara is probably not good!

However, it can't be said that He Renlong's subordinates don't have any ability. Although the offensive battle is a little messy, after all, their firepower is more abundant than that of Xing Tianjun's side. Xiao Tianjian did not dare to repeat his old skills. Let the fireman and archer take the earth embankment, and then follow the old road. The attack of the officers and soldiers.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Xing Tianjun was suppressed, the officers and soldiers cleaned up the broken shield car in the east of the bridge, and began to push the shield car onto the stone bridge, pushing it step by step towards the west of the bridge. However, because the bridge was full of corpses left by the officers and soldiers in the previous war, they pushed forward as they pushed the bodies down the stone bridge and moved forward. It has become slower.

When Xiao Tianjian was considering how to deal with this group of officers and soldiers, several horses rushed quickly from the north and south. As soon as they arrived in front of Xiao Tianjian and others, these scouts rolled off their saddles and rushed to Xiao Tianjian's front and reported to Xiao Tianjian: "General Qi, three miles north of the Wanzi River, I found hundreds of them. Human officers and soldiers are crossing the river! Please make a final order!"

"General Qi, from then on, a group of officers and soldiers were building a pontoon bridge to cross the river, with a force of about 700 to 800 people! The little incompetence didn't tell who the general was!" Another scout who came back from the south also replied immediately.

Xiao Tianjian and several of his men suddenly became nervous after listening to it. It seemed that this time really stabbed the hornet's nest. He Renlong actually sent two officers and soldiers at the same time to grab the Wanzi River from the upstream and downstream at the same time, plus a big stone bridge here, he used three at once. The road soldiers and horses attacked at the same time, and it was not easy to do this time!

Xiao Tianjian nervously thought about the current situation. If He Renlong only sent officers and soldiers to rush from another place, he could still draw out part of his troops to stop the officers and soldiers, but now the officers and soldiers came from both sides, and his troops would be overstretched. If he forcibly divide the troops, His troops can only send two or three hundred people per way. Once He Renlong is crazy and leads the main force to rush from the Dashi Bridge regardless of death, it is impossible for the remaining troops to stop them.

Several generals also nervously turned their eyes to Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian relaxed the expression on his face as much as possible, lowered his head and turned all kinds of thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, he found that he had made another mistake.
