Ming Zuo

Chapter 1463 New Weapons

Where Duoduo entered the mountain, there was no road.

It was just that they were attacked by the sixth division and the ninth division, so they had no choice but to escape along the canyon between the two mountains.

But after rushing in, Doduo complained endlessly.

Looking around, the mountain peaks are like forests, the rocks are jagged, and the virgin forest that can't see the edge completely obscures the road ahead.

No one knows what is in front of them and whether they can pass through.

But things have come to this point, so they can only bite the bullet and move forward.

At the foot of the mountain outside, the generals of the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division gathered together, and they were all extremely happy.

The meeting of the two strategic clusters also means that the situation of the war is completely in the hands of the empire.

"Have you thought about it, generals? What should I do next? Dodo is right in front of you, so don't let him go."

As the person with the highest military rank present, although Zhang Yan did not participate in the specific command, he still put pressure on the generals.

In the battle at the foot of the mountain ahead, the Wehrmacht encountered tenacious resistance.

Although their barrage of bullets swept away the blocked Qing army, the Qing army had already deployed a large number of soldiers and horses on the high ground on both sides of the valley.

Wu Zhenchaoha, who has never been sent to the battlefield by Duoduo, is condescending and uses the musket in his hand to cause a lot of trouble for the National Defense Forces.

Although the flintlock in Wu Zhenchaoha's hand was not at all an opponent of the Mines rifle, but because of the advantage of the terrain, the Qing army still stabilized its position.

Moreover, because of the height difference in the terrain, the artillery of the National Defense Forces could not hit the mountain and could not provide much support.

Yu Lichun was not very anxious.

"I have already dispatched the 35th Regiment to attack Yanmen Pass. As long as Yanmen Pass is in our hands, it will be even more difficult for Duoduo to escape from the mountain."

The Qing army didn't know much about the mountains in front of them, but the intelligence of the National Defense Forces was very detailed.

Here is the Hengshan Mountains, sandwiched between the Hutuo River and the Sanggan River.It is about 300 kilometers long from east to west and more than 80 kilometers wide from north to south.

It doesn't look very big, but the mountains are dense and the terrain is steep. The Qing army plunged into it, and it was difficult to get out.

Zhang Yan immediately reminded: "Not only do we have to take down the Yanmen Pass, but we have to continue to move forward. As long as we control the Guangwu Institute, Duoduo will really not be able to escape."

On the north side of the Hengshan Mountains, there is a wide canyon that goes deep into the mountains around Guangwu.The road in the canyon is fairly flat, which is more suitable for marching.

Once Duduo discovers this canyon, he is likely to escape.

But as long as the National Defense Forces control Guangwusuo, it will completely block Duoduo's way out.

Yu Lichun came to his senses and quickly redeployed.

"Immediately ask the 36th Regiment to follow the 35th Regiment and tell them that they must capture the Guangwu Institute by tomorrow."

Xu Tiancheng couldn't sit still anymore.

"I'll go myself."

With him as the military and political commander and the deputy division commander personally commanding, everyone felt relieved.

On the Sixth Division's side, Jian Zong'an also began to divide his troops.

"Old Bao, work hard, lead the 24th and 25th regiments through the mountains to the west, and seize Lingwu."

As soon as Bao Guolun heard it, he understood that he wanted to block Duoduo's escape route from the west.

"Leave it to me, Dodo can't escape."

Zhang Yan was really pleased to see that all the generals under his command dared to fight and everyone was brave.

With the rapid adjustment speed of the National Defense Forces, he didn't believe that Duoduo could walk out of the mountain at all.

Yangyuan.

Hauge has completely lost the demeanor of a prince.

His armor was in bad condition, and there was blood all over his face and body, and he didn't know who it belonged to.

But he didn't care about tidying up, his tired eyes just looked at the battlefield nervously.

Suddenly a few bullets landed beside him, which made him roll away in fright and hid behind the bunker.

Immediately he felt something was wrong.

Because if these bullets were shot from the front, they would definitely not be able to cross the parapet and land at his feet.

Then there is only one possibility.

Hauge raised his head in astonishment, and looked towards the top of the mountain in the north.

On the top of the mountain, the flag of the Qing army has disappeared, replaced by the red flag of the National Defense Forces waving wantonly.

This can only show that the crucial hilltop position has been lost.

"What does Bahana eat? This king will cut off his head."

However, Hauge's roar was useless.

A group of Qing troops retreated into the city in embarrassment, and Zhenglan Banner Gushan Erzhen Bahana limped to Hauge.

"Master, all my soldiers and horses are gone."

Looking at Bahana's team of less than a hundred people, Hauge wanted to get angry, but he had no choice but to stop it.

It's not that Bahana is not brave, it's because the National Defense Forces on the opposite side are too powerful.

However, if the position on the top of the mountain is lost, the National Defense Forces can condescend and wantonly project firepower into Yangyuan City.

How is the city defended?

Just when Hauge was depressed, Sony also retreated.

"My lord, the front position is lost."

Hauge's eyes were bloodshot.

"Can't even you stand it?"

Sony was outraged.

"My lord doesn't know, the Chinese army's muskets are different. They fight so fast, our tactics are useless!"

Hauge picked up the binoculars and looked towards the battlefield ahead.

I saw that the soldiers of the National Defense Forces were extremely scattered when attacking, and after running a few steps, they would find a bunker and lie down.

There were clever soldiers of the Qing army who hid in the dark and remained motionless. After the soldiers of the National Defense Army fired their shots, they immediately rushed forward.

According to experience, at a distance of more than 30 meters, it only takes five counts for the soldiers of the Qing army to rush to the front, without giving the National Defense Forces a chance to reload at all.

However, Brother Hao saw with his own eyes that after only three counts, the Wehrmacht soldier who had fired suddenly raised his gun again.

Because the distance was too close, the running Qing soldiers had no time to react and were beaten to death alive.

Hauge watched intently.

I saw that the Wehrmacht soldier who had fired did not raise the muzzle of his gun, but kept it flat.

Whether it is a Minie rifle or a flintlock gun, when loading the gun, it needs to be placed vertically with the muzzle facing up, so that the barrel can be loaded with ammunition.

Therefore, in previous battles, neither the National Defense Forces nor the Qing Army could shoot from a prone position.

What's the point of keeping it so balanced?
He couldn't help being dumbfounded by the next operation of the soldiers of the National Defense Forces.

The soldier reached out and grabbed a handle protruding from the rear of the musket, lifted it and pulled it, and then took out a pointed bullet from the ammunition box.

The back of the bullet was wrapped in paper to form a cylinder, and it is estimated that it contained propellant powder.

The soldier stuffed the bullet into the gun chamber casually, then restored the handle, raised his hand and fired again.

The whole process is the time of three numbers.

"What musket is this?"

Brother Hao's question, no one can answer.

But every general of the Qing army knew that they would lose if they encountered such a weapon.

"My lord, hurry up and retreat. If you are surrounded in the city, no one will survive."

Bahana and Sony couldn't help but drag Hauge away.

Although I don't know why Azig and Dodo haven't appeared yet, they can only save themselves first.
