Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 968

[Chapter 968 Insufficient Firepower]

“Woooooh…”

The next morning, the soldiers of the Central Army in the trenches of Lingwu County tensed up after a low sound of horns.

Because they found Beidi cavalry rushing towards them along the road in the middle of the trench.

Unlike their trenches, the trenches dug by the Beidi people this time were not continuous horizontally, but left several sections of unexcavated roads in the middle.

These roads allow the passage of cavalry.

However, in the previous charge, Beidi did not invest in cavalry.

Now, for the first time, they saw Beidi cavalry attacking the trenches.

“Are the Beidi people crazy? Use cavalry to charge the trenches?” The change in Beidi’s charging style naturally caught the attention of Bai Shang and Huo An.

In Bai Shang’s view, cavalry rushing into the trenches is simply an idiotic act.

Because the soldiers were hiding in the trenches, even if the cavalry rushed over, they could not use their sabers to kill the soldiers in the trenches.

At the same time, due to the existence of trenches, it will make the cavalry inconvenient to move and become the target of soldiers in the trenches.

“Something must have happened that angered Mueller Hongzhen.” Huo An said.

While the Beidi cavalry charged, the Beidi soldiers in the trench also climbed out of the trench, and the infantry and cavalry rushed to their trench together.

However, the soldiers of the Central Army are not vegetarians, especially when fighting defensive battles.

When Beidi charged, howitzers and rifled guns covered it.

The soldiers’ guns were also aimed at them, and there were grenades from time to time.

Under the fierce firepower, the Beidi cavalry and infantry kept falling in the middle of the trenches of the two armies.

“It should be Chen Hu’s Lancers.” Bai Shang suddenly thought of something.

The actions of the Great Song Army on the battlefield are notified to each other.

He naturally knew that Chen Hu led the Lancers to cut off the Beidi supply line.

“This makes sense. The Lancers must have won a big victory. Seeing that the supply line was not secured, Mu Lehong was really anxious, hahaha…” Huo An laughed.

Bai Shang nodded, and his heart was lifted, “Beidi’s cavalry are no longer our opponents, and this time we should settle accounts with them. Since the founding of Dasong, countless soldiers and civilians of Dasong have died at their hands. A debt of blood is about to escape.”

After that, he said to the general beside him, “Beat me hard, their bullshit cavalry can’t get cheap in front of our cavalry, he thinks he can get it in front of our infantry Is it cheap?”

Looking at the battlefield with a telescope for a while, I saw that the Beidi cavalry would not have much impact on the battlefield situation.

He said to Huo An, “It’s not rude to come and go, let the sharpshooters kill a few more Beidi generals.”

This time, some of the metal bullets were given to Chen Hu’s lancers, and some were given to the sharpshooters trained in the army.

With metal bullets, these sharpshooters are even more powerful.

Because the metal bullet not only increased the effective range of the Qin-style rifle to 800 meters, but also improved the accuracy within 800 meters.

“Does it need to be said? They hid in various places on the battlefield before dawn.” Huo An smiled and looked at the city wall of Lingwu County.

There is a god range lying on his stomach, condescending, and killing the enemy with a good vision.

There are also sharpshooters in the trenches, among the soldiers, looking for important targets.

There are also some sharpshooters who came to the flanks of the battlefield before dawn, pretending to be the same as the snow.

Bai Shang nodded, showing a satisfied expression.

at the same time.

Mule Hongzhen was also watching the battlefield.

Seeing that the cavalry’s charge did not achieve the result he wanted, he showed a disappointed look and became upset for a while.

If he can no longer change the situation of the battle and the supply line is cut off, then he will really be powerless.

He was thinking about it when Negov and Ulanba came over.

Negov said, “Khan, this charge is not an option, it will only ruin the cavalry in vain. I have a solution, it is better to make some small powder kegs, tie them to the soldiers, and let them charge on horseback, as long as they can get close to the opponent’s trench , let the soldiers jump down, and die with the Dasong soldiers.”

Mu Lehongzhen was startled when he heard this.

To him, it was literally making soldiers commit suicide.

But after pondering for a while, he agreed.

Now, as long as there is a way to win, he can use it.

These cavalry will die when they charge anyway, and the same is true when they are killed by a gunpowder barrel.

“Colonel Negoff is really a genius, if that’s the case, let’s prepare immediately.” Mule Hongzhen said.

Ulanba and Negov nodded and went back.

at night.

Powder kegs the size of an adult’s head were distributed to the Beidi cavalry.

These powder barrels all have two straps that can be worn on the body, and a fuse.

After igniting the fuse, the cavalry rushed towards the trench in Lingwu County.

But these special cavalry did not escape the eyes of marksmen on the sides of the battlefield.

After all, the sharpshooter always has a deputy watching with a telescope.

They recognized at once that it was a powder keg.

To alert the soldiers in the trench, a sharpshooter pulled the trigger.

“Bang!”, the bullet flew through the air and hit the powder keg on the cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry was only 30 meters away from the trench in Lingwu County.

The gunpowder barrel was hit, and it exploded with a “boom!” The huge power directly blasted the cavalry and horses to pieces, and a ball of flames rose.

The Central Army soldiers in the trench were slightly taken aback when they saw this.

They suddenly realized that there was something tricky among these Beidi cavalry.

In an instant, the soldiers of the Central Army began to focus on taking care of the Beidi cavalry.

The sharpshooters also shifted their focus to the Beidi cavalry.

On the battlefield, the Beidi cavalry began to burst into flames from time to time.

However, this did not stop the madness of Beidi people.

Occasionally, one or two Beidi cavalry rushed to the trench.

At this time, the Beidi cavalry would jump off their horses and pounce on the soldiers in the trench.

“The firepower is still not enough.” Seeing this, Bai Shang and Huo An frowned.

There are too many Beidi soldiers, and every time the infantry and cavalry charge together.

In this way, there will always be a few fish that slip through the net.

Although they still cannot threaten the overall security of the trench front, they can endanger the lives of soldiers of the Central Army.

“I hope the machine gun will come soon.” Bai Shang couldn’t wait.

Opposite is a group of pigs, and he has to kill for a long time, but with efficient pig killing tools, the time can be shortened.

In the next few days, the two sides will continue to fight back and forth.

Seeing that the powder keg cavalry had played a role, Mu Lehong really regained some confidence.

He was waiting for an opportunity, as long as the gunpowder barrel cavalry could tear a hole in the trench defense line, he would launch a full-scale charge and take Lingwu County completely.

At the same time, Yancheng.

When the battle in Lingwu County became more and more intense, the Military Division was also very busy.

Artisans were busy making metal bullets and hand-cranked machine guns.

While the war was going on, the number of machine guns was also accumulating.

The ten-day deadline came, and the warehouse had stockpiled 30 hand-cranked machine guns. Wang Ying immediately asked the craftsmen to take the steam locomotive to send the machine guns and ammunition to the front line in Yongzhou.
