Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 814
[Chapter 814 Gap]
“Bang bang bang…”
Intensive gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the royal family climbed out of the trench and charged in skirmish lines.
However, they didn’t rush towards the opposite side in a swarm.
Qin-style rifles endowed them with many tactical actions that they could not make on the battlefield before.
Due to the three days of shelling, there were many craters blown out by shells between the trenches of the two sides.
The soldiers of the palace marched in groups of three.
When one person charged forward, the other two knelt on one knee and the other lay on the ground, shooting at the opposite ditch to cover the first soldier’s charge.
When the first soldier rushed out 20 or 30 meters, he immediately lay down and shot the opposing soldier in a prone position, covering the two soldiers behind him.
At this time, the two soldiers will get up and charge, and cross and cover the charge repeatedly.
When encountering a bomb crater, the soldiers of the Wangfu would jump directly into the crater, relying on the crater, and continuously shoot at the Nanliang soldiers and Beidi soldiers who emerged from the trench to cover the progress of other soldiers.
Since they didn’t have to stand up to reload, they just lay down in the crater and kept firing.
The advantage of the Qin-style rifle, which can fire ten rounds a minute and is quite accurate, is reflected.
One soldier in the crater can often suppress four or five soldiers of the opponent.
Because Nanliang and Beidi soldiers are still using traditional flintlock guns, it is not bad to be able to fire two or three bullets a minute, which is very clumsy.
And it’s just a crater.
There are as many as hundreds of such craters in the blank area of the trench with a width of up to 300 meters.
In addition to the soldiers who crossed the charge to cover the shooting, the firepower of the Wangfu’s pro-army was very fierce along the entire trench line.
The gunfire on the battlefield was like popping beans.
“Bang!”
One shot killed the enemy soldier in the ditch on the opposite side. Wang En pulled the bolt, took out another round of paper shells from the belt, and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun.
Closing the bolt, he aimed again at the ditch, pulling the trigger whenever a soldier emerged.
He belongs to the First Army of the Prince’s Mansion, and he is the captain of ten people.
Now lying in the crater are all his soldiers.
Shooting again, he found that there were no soldiers outcropping within ten meters of the ditch on the opposite side.
Ten meters away, soldiers from the other side popped up from time to time and shot at the charging soldiers.
Obviously, they made a gap here.
“Get the grenade ready, and follow me!” Wang Engao shouted, crawling out of the crater, and the soldiers under his command also followed them, approaching the trench in an irregular curve.
As soon as they got out of the ditch, other royal soldiers jumped into the ditch.
These soldiers consciously aimed their guns at the direction of Wang En’s charge to provide them with cover.
Just when Wang En was only 20 meters away from the trench.
The other party obviously noticed the threat from their group.
Immediately, reserve soldiers rushed over from the corridor, ready to block the gap.
Seeing this, Wang En took the grenade from his waist, pulled the match rope and threw it over.
The soldiers following him also threw grenades at the soldiers rushing towards the gap.
“Boom boom boom…” The
flames in the trench suddenly shot up, and the reserve soldiers who rushed over screamed and fell down.
“Kill!”
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent’s reserve team was bombed, Wang Engao yelled, and it took him only four seconds to cross the 20-meter distance and jumped into the opponent’s trench.
The soldiers under his command followed him closely, and also jumped into the ditch.
“Bang bang bang…”
As soon as he entered the trench, Wang En aimed at the enemy soldiers in the trench and shot.
After killing a soldier, he immediately reloads and shoots the next soldier.
In a short period of time, they tore the gap wider and wider.
Since they disturbed the defense of the first row of trenches, other royal soldiers immediately followed, and more and more people jumped into the trenches.
“Hahaha, it’s no wonder he’s my brother.” Wang Qiao laughed while lying on his stomach in a bomb crater.
During the Battle of Niutautan, because of his bravery, he was promoted from the general banner to the capital commander during this period, and he commanded 500 soldiers.
Afterwards, due to the fact that the powerful clan stationed troops at Zhongling Pass, he went north with the army and came to Zhongling Pass.
After he joined the royal army, his fifth younger brother also joined the royal army the following year.
It was said that father and son fought in battle and fought against brothers, so he took his brother over and brought him under his command.
“Support immediately, tear the gap as big as possible.” Wang Qiao smiled for a while, and immediately ordered.
With the order, the generals under his command rushed over with the soldiers.
At the same time, in other positions along the front line of the trench, the soldiers of the royal family’s army are constantly tearing up the defense gap.
More and more royal soldiers rushed into the first row of trenches, and neither the Nanliang soldiers nor the Beidi soldiers could stop them at all.
“Damn it!”
Ashur and Olsky hid in the hidden corner of the last row of trenches and watched the battlefield.
Seeing that the soldiers of the palace rushed into the first row of trenches in a short period of time, he couldn’t help being so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
These palace soldiers are too flexible on the battlefield.
Running around like a monkey.
The flintlock guns were not very accurate, and they were attacking in a skirmish line.
What’s even worse is that once they encounter danger, they just lie on the ground and crawl forward like snakes.
While crawling, they were even able to shoot at their soldiers.
Moreover, during the whole process, none of the soldiers of the palace stood still, pulled out the cleaning stick to reload.
This is when they are most likely to be shot.
So under such circumstances, their counterattack seemed very weak, and they were quickly defeated.
“Come on reserve team, plug the gap for me.” Ashur was furious.
Three days of shelling cost them more than 20,000 people.
In less than half an hour now, their trench was breached.
This made him always proud, how could he bear it, he held his breath and wanted to fight to the end.
Compared with Ashur, Olsky is much calmer.
After all, death is not a Ross soldier.
As soon as the war started, he noticed that King Yan’s soldiers moved too flexibly.
No one would dare to use this kind of straggler tactic even in the West.
But they just used it, and after observing it again, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.
He suddenly realized that the soldiers of King Yan seemed to be using a brand new musket.
The musket was actually loaded from behind.
The scene observed through the telescope subverted his cognition.
Realizing this, his clothes were instantly drenched in cold sweat.
“I think it’s time to retreat now,” Olsky said, momentarily losing confidence.
The reload speed, range and accuracy of the new muskets of King Yan’s soldiers are simply terrifying.
Although Ashur’s soldiers were equipped with muskets with a range of 150 meters in some Ross countries, it was far from enough.
Perhaps only imitation muskets can compete with it.
But even so, the flexibility will be much worse.
“Damn it, maybe it was a mistake for us to get involved in this war.” Olsky cried out in his heart.
