The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 384

"My lord." A few soldiers were about to rush over to stand in front of Ding Yi.

"Don't panic, you won't hit." Ding Yi looked at the trajectory of the ball, and it should have flown over his head and hit behind him.

Moreover, there is a tunnel not far from him, and he can jump into it at any time. It is full of sandbags, so he is not afraid of guns.

Sure enough, the shell flew directly over Ding Yi's head, and there were also a large number of Dongjiang troops behind him, and there was a sudden jump, and many people jumped into the tunnel one after another.

Puchi, the cannonball hit a pile of sandbags heavily, but stopped without bouncing up, and then slowly rolled down to the bottom.

This cannonball hits very far, and the estimated range is more than two miles.

But flying from such a long distance, under normal circumstances, it is still too late to hide after seeing it.

But this cannon also gave Dongjiang soldiers some warnings, and many people began to hide in the tunnels.

Soon.

Boom, boom, boom, the North Korean artillery at the foot of the mountain began to fire continuously.

Whoosh, whoosh, shells flew into the air.

The guns of the Dongjiang soldiers did not move, and their artillery positions will always be the best in this era.

Basically, they go through the wall first, then use trees to support the top of the head, and then cover with sandbags, so that only one exit of the cannon is exposed.

For example, on Xinling Mountain, it is more difficult to dig, so stones are used to pile up large trees and then covered with sandbags.

This kind of protection is like a bunker, and it's okay to be hit by the heavy artillery of this era, unless it hits right on top of the artillery.

Because Ding Yijue's excellent artillery is difficult to train, he protects the artillery very much. Every time he fights, he can guarantee that the artillery's loss is almost the lowest, or even none.

Silao stood in the bunker, holding a telescope and looking down through the shooting port.

After a while, he gave the order.

"District 1." Immediately someone nearby picked up a flag with the word 2 written on it, stretched it out of the bunker, and shook it.

Seeing many bunkers stretching past in all directions, they began to aim at them one after another.

District 1 was just over ten meters from the foot of the mountain. At this time, a large number of North Korean soldiers had gathered, and they swarmed up like ants.

"Boom" the artillery of the Ming army finally opened fire.

Before the infantry on both sides joined the battle, the artillery had already begun to bombard each other.

The artillery on both sides fired at each other, but the effect must be that Ding Yi's artillery is better.

They are condescending, they can shoot far, they can see clearly, and they have divided the land below into zones in advance.

Their defense is also very good. In the early stage, more than half of the soldiers and horses can hide in the tunnels, and the other half are scattered around. The various advantages of the mountain, such as woods, behind rocks, etc., can play a protective role.

The artillery from both sides fired back and forth several times, and the artillery fire of the Koreans became less and less frequent. I don't know whether it was because of insufficient gunpowder, or because they were afraid of hitting their own people who had climbed the mountain.

At this time, the straight-line distance between the two sides was less than 120 meters.

There are many cannons on the mountain that were carried down.

Seeing that the enemy's artillery was firing less, the officers of various ministries also began to let the gunmen out of the tunnel.

Gunners came out one after another, quickly lined up, and the front of the formation was densely packed, and the gunners stood there for a while.

There are 500 blunderbusses and [-] pikemen guarding here. Only [-] bludgeoners will come out this time, arranged in four rows, with more than [-] in each row.

Because there are cannons on the opposite side, it is required to stand as scattered as possible, and it does not look dense.

Each team stood in the position of each team, and the commanding officer stood in the middle.

The remaining thousands of people either did not come out in the tunnel, or hid behind various stone trees, but they did not show their faces anyway.

He Xiaoche's gun technique is also quite powerful.

Over the years, he has performed military exploits, and now he has been promoted to Qianzong.

More than 400 gunmen under him lined up in four rows, more than 100 in each row, and then he stood on the right, and on his right were Xiang Huailai's gunmen, also lined up in four rows.

He looked around and felt that there were gunmen all around him, and he felt inexplicably excited.

Down the mountain, densely packed North Korean soldiers climbed up like ants.

The distance between the two sides is very close, but because the climbing is relatively slow, everyone is not in a hurry.

"Huh" Suddenly, an iron ball flew over in the air and passed directly above their heads. He couldn't help but look back, Kacha, the iron ball actually hit a tree on the mountain behind, and the tree was directly smashed in two.

"Ah..." There was a scream in the woods. There should be Dongjiang soldiers hiding in it. They were unlucky and got hit.

Damn it, the corner of He Xiaoche's mouth twitched, and he looked into the formation from the corner of his eye.

Among his soldiers and horses, a small half were recruits. Many people heard the screams, and some of them had already turned pale.

Boom, another artillery shell flew over suddenly. I don't know if I saw that the Ming army was densely packed on the mountain, and the North Korean artillery was fired up again.

The cannon was very accurate and ran directly towards He Xiaoche's army formation.

More than 400 people looked up at the same time, and many of them showed horror on their faces.

Someone is already trying to hide.

But at this time, they have already lined up. According to the military order, the line stands at one stop, and they cannot move without orders, and whoever moves will beheaded.

A recruit looked around, wanting to hide, but didn't dare, but there were people all around, no one moved, and he didn't know whether to move or not.

With just such a hesitation, puff, the shell directly smashed into the crowd.

The person who was hit didn't even make a sound, and turned into a pile of mud in an instant.

Because they were at a high place, the cannonball didn't bounce upwards, it just rolled to the side, and it seemed to be hit on the leg again.

"Ah!" Finally there was a scream, and there was a commotion in the army, and many people couldn't help but move.

"Don't move, the military order is like a mountain, whoever moves will be killed." He Xiaoche said sharply.

Then he shouted again: "Don't panic, this cannon can't kill a few people."

"Stand up, stand up, everyone stand up, Lao Li and Ye, drag Zhu Zainan into the tunnel first." He Xiaoche ordered again.

The leaders of the ranks of the captains in the formation also said, "Don't be afraid, the hit rate of this gun is very low, don't panic."

As the wounded soldier was carried down, his formation quickly recovered.

The recruits also found that, as Shangguan said, the hit rate of this gun was very low, and the next few guns were far away from them.

The key point is that the artillery of the North Koreans is not dense enough and less threatening.

At this time, some soldiers came to He Xiaoche's car, He Xiaoche turned around and listened, and decisively found a high rock, and made a stop.

"It's all ready, ready."

When He Xiaoche called out, Xiang Huailai, like him, chose a high place, held a flag in his hand, and raised it high: "Get ready."

The formation became more orderly, and everyone began to reload.

Take the paper bag, bite it off, put gunpowder and lead bullets in it, then poke it in, and hang it on your waist so that you can take it again next time.

All departments are in an orderly manner and come according to the training requirements.

There are also recruits who are nervous, their hands are shaking, clattering, and all the gunpowder falls to the ground.

"What are you panicking about? The North Korean soldiers are much easier to fight than the Houjin soldiers. Hurry up." The elders around shouted, but generally they would not scold them. At this time, they mainly encouraged them.

"Not bad, good job, did you pretend to be fast this time?"

After all the units are installed, the enemy has entered the third area, and the straight-line distance is about 100 meters, but because of the slope, the actual distance is more than 100 meters.

"First row." He Xiaoche yelled, waving flags, and the heads of all ministries were yelling and waving flags.

Hush, the first row raised their guns to aim.

"Fight." He Xiaoche quickly waved down the flag.

After waiting for two or three seconds, bang bang bang, there was a continuous sound of gunfire.

Basically, those who fight slowly are veterans. Veterans will take a long look. Many recruits may fight when they hear the sound of beating because of nervousness. Of course, after one or two times, they will gradually gain experience.

After the first row was shot, squat down immediately and start reloading, and then the second row would fight again.

There is no need for orders later, three rows and four rows take turns to fight.

The scene was crackling and crackling. This was the most shooting by Ding Yi's musketeers. More than 2000 musketeers shot the air full of smoke.

Many people even have to wait a while to smoke before they can play again.

There are also people who don't even aim, just hit down based on feeling.

The bottom of the mountain is full of North Koreans. As long as the direction is not too outrageous, it may be possible to hit.

But experienced veterans will find that the North Koreans are far away from them at this time, more than 100 meters away, and they don't understand why the officers call for a fight.

But there was an order from above, so they could only fire guns one after another.
