Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 542
[Chapter 542]
“Get up, coward, and reload immediately!”
Beididong artillery position.
Chief Beidish, who was in charge of the artillery, glanced at the dead artillery and immediately gave orders to the reserve artillery.
Although his expression was ferocious, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed.
When the black iron king’s tent attacked the Yanzhou bastion, they knew that the Yanzhou artillery had a longer range and greater power than theirs.
Before attacking Yanguan, their generals reported this problem to Khan Mule Hongzhen.
After all, if this problem cannot be solved, when attacking Yanguan, their artillery will only become the target of the opponent’s artillery.
Shortly thereafter, they had a solution.
Missionaries from Rus are said to have advised their khan.
This is to use sandbags, earth and wood to build artillery positions to protect artillery and soldiers.
It’s just that the Yanzhou artillery is too powerful.
If the artillery were equal, the fortifications they built might be a headache for the opponent’s artillery.
However, Yanzhou soldiers were condescending and the artillery was powerful. Although their situation was better, casualties were still unavoidable.
Once again suppressed by Yanzhou artillery.
“Ah…”
He was distressed when another artillery sandbag was knocked down, and the jumping shell hit the arm of a Beidi soldier.
Beidi Bing screamed, his arm was broken, and blood flowed.
“Don’t be afraid, beat me hard. The soldiers at Yanguan are almost dead from the plague. Now there are only a few people who are stubbornly resisting. The victory will be our Beidi in the end.”
“After taking Yanguan, I will take you to Yanzhou You can choose the women in Yanzhou who are delicious and hot, as you like.” General Beidi shouted with red eyes.
“Anda!” Beidi soldiers’ beast nature was provoked, they kept hammering their chests and roaring, shouting slogans in their mouths.
Anda meant death in Beidi. After a loud roar, they immediately reloaded and fought back.
It’s just that their shells flew towards Yanguan, or crossed the Yanguan city wall, fell into Yanguan, or hit the city wall, raising slight smoke and dust.
“Boom boom boom…”
After their bombardment, the artillery at Yanguan city roared again.
The shells flew towards them with a sharp whistling sound, and there was another scream on the ground.
At the head of Yanguan City, Tang Qing observed Beidi’s artillery positions with a telescope.
He was slightly satisfied with the shelling of the Beidi artillery positions.
Although Beidi’s fortifications hindered them, their shells continued to cause casualties to the opponent.
And they are condescending, occupying a good location, coupled with the attenuation of the power of Beidi artillery, they will not be as embarrassed as Beidi artillery.
But even so, the Beidi artillery finally restrained some of their artillery.
And this is also a major difference between the enemy with artillery and without artillery.
The opponent has no artillery, and they can concentrate on bombarding the siege soldiers.
Now, they can only take out some soldiers to deal with the siege, and the rest have to shoot at each other until they destroy the opponent’s artillery.
“Anda!”
Just as they were shelling each other, Beidi soldiers roared and rushed towards the city wall.
The distance keeps shortening, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters.
Tang Qing left seventy-two artillery pieces to deal with Beidi soldiers attacking the city.
The artillerymen put on grape shells, and the sound of the guns sounded.
Grape bullets fell like a rain of bullets, and some of the densely charged soldiers fell down one after another, blood splashing into the air.
It’s just that this didn’t make the siege soldiers retreat, they continued to charge towards Yanguan with the ladders on their shoulders.
“Mu Lehongzhen has really lost his blood this time.” Chang Wei looked towards the battlefield.
It is different from letting the servants attack the city first.
This time Beidi soldiers and Xiliang soldiers even mixed together and rushed forward.
Obviously, they did this to boost the morale of the Xiliang people, meaning that the Beidi people did not regard the Xiliang people as dead ghosts.
However, in Chang Wei’s view, Mule Hongzhen’s arrangement has a deeper meaning.
That is, Beidi soldiers also acted as the supervisor of the battle team during the charge.
If Xiliang soldiers retreated, Beidi soldiers would kill them immediately.
Thinking of this, he observed carefully, and sure enough, he found that Beidi soldiers were forcing Xiliang soldiers to advance.
“Fortunately, Your Highness has cracked the plague of Beidi, otherwise Yanguan would not be able to keep this time.” Mo Yu also noticed that there was a sudden chill behind him.
It has to be said that the casualties of Beidi soldiers will be heavy, but the morale of the 400,000 soldiers is guaranteed.
“General, they have entered the range of 200 meters.” The soldier in charge of measuring the distance of the enemy soldiers said loudly.
Chang Wei immediately said, “Fire!”
“Bang bang bang…”
His order came out, and the soldiers on the city wall immediately pulled the trigger.
A burst of white smoke rose, and the Beidi soldiers who were running fell to the ground as if their feet were tripped.
The number of instant casualties was much higher than that caused by artillery.
“Okay!” Mo Yu couldn’t help shouting.
Although the artillery is powerful, the number of shells fired at one time is limited after all, and there are still intervals between shots.
In comparison, there are nearly 10,000 musketeers deployed on the city wall.
At this moment, they lined up in three rows and continuously attacked the Beidi soldiers who were charging in three bursts.
In this way, they fired a lot of bullets at one time, and the firepower continued.
If the bullets fired by the artillery were light rain, the musketeers would be pouring rain.
With the long range and accuracy of the rifled gun, a three-stage shot ended and immediately caused one or two thousand casualties to the charging Beidi soldiers.
On the city wall, it can be clearly seen that the density of assault soldiers has decreased.
“No wonder His Highness is so calm.” Chang Wei sighed for a while.
He had only seen the power and accuracy of rifled guns on the school field.
On the real battlefield, he had never seen so many soldiers using rifled guns at the same time.
But the effect was much stronger than he expected.
This is the position of 200 meters. If it is replaced by a flintlock gun, the bullets will fly so far, and they will basically not have much power.
“Bang bang bang…” The
first round of three-segment shooting ended, and then the second round of three-segment shooting began.
Another large number of Beidi soldiers fell.
The density of Beidi soldiers charging was thinner again.
After this shooting, the Beidi soldiers who charged were visibly sluggish, as if they were thinking about what happened.
Why did the people around them disappear as they ran?
“Don’t stop, keep going!”
“If you don’t take Yanguan this time, no one will get back alive!”
“…”
In the charging team outside the city, Beidi soldiers kept shouting, urging Xiliang soldiers to move forward.
Beside him, the wounded soldiers kept moaning in pain.
But they can’t take care of all this anymore, they are death camps.
If they cannot win, they would rather die on the battlefield.
“An…”
Another Beidi soldier shouted slogans, but his voice stopped abruptly.
After a burst of gunshots, a bullet hole appeared in the center of his brow.
