Chapter 319 Doduo Was Shocked
The shield chariot built by the Qing army has two wheels, a thick wooden board in the front, and iron sheets or cotton armor nailed on it, which can guard against bows and arrows and firecrackers.

Because of the shield car protection, the Qing army did not need to rush to charge, and used running to reduce the number of times they were shot by firecrackers. They only needed to hide behind the shield car, advance to the wall of the village, and then charge suddenly.

At this time, on the vast battlefield, nearly [-] Qing soldiers slowly approached the Wei army barracks with their waists bent, putting tremendous pressure on the Wei army guarding the camp.

From the musketeers behind the fence, they found that the soldiers of the Qing army were hiding behind the shield chariots and couldn't find the target. They suddenly felt that Kong had a lot of skills, but there was no use for them. Instead, it was the archers transferred from the new attached camp behind him. You can shoot the Qing army behind the shield car with a bow.

At this moment, Wang Deren held his saber and watched from the edge of the fence. The Qing army slowly finished the first guard trench, and immediately raised his right hand high.

The three rows of gunners standing behind the fence immediately held guns in both hands. The first row of gunners raised their guns neatly. The gunners made of fine iron lined up in a straight line and aimed at the Qing army outside the camp. shield car.

Behind them, the foot archers all put the arrows in their quiver bags on the ground beside them, so that after shooting one arrow, they could immediately take out another arrow.

"Marshal, report from the front battalion, the enemy is approaching the first deep trench!" The chess and card officer saw the semaphore ahead and reported loudly.

Gao Yihuan had already seen that in the wilderness in front of the camp, the Qing army's shield chariot had already parked in front of the ditch, like a long wall, behind which the densely packed Qing army soldiers gathered behind the wall like ants.

Such a scene is like Bu Tan attacking together, the scene is grand and spectacular.

Gao Yihuan's heart was agitated, he punched the wooden railing, and shouted angrily, "Wang Deren is ordered, the enemy army crosses the trench, shoot immediately!"

On the watchtower, the chess and card officials immediately waved the command flag, and the drums in the army sounded, giving orders together.

Taking advantage of Duoduo's opportunity to make equipment, Gao Yihuan dug two more trenches outside the camp, and built two three-foot-high sheep and horse walls with the dug up soil, which is equivalent to building two thresholds in front of the camp , The equipment used to prevent the Qing army from approaching the wall of the village.

There are three trenches outside the camp, the outermost one is [-] steps away from the wall, which is just within the range where the firecrackers can penetrate armor, so once the Qing army passed the trenches, the firecrackers could shoot and kill the enemy soldiers.

Tang Tong was wearing double-layer battle armor, but he was still bent over and hid behind a shield car. Seeing that the shield car was blocked by a trench, he first glanced at the Wei army's camp from the gap in the shield car, and then suddenly issued an order , "Break the Wei camp to reward a hundred gold, and capture Gao Yihuan alive as a marquis and reward silver! Trench bridge, give me a reward!"

With an order, the Qing army carrying the trench bridge behind the shield car suddenly roared, "Come on~"

In the first echelon, nearly a thousand soldiers howled suddenly, carrying the trench bridge and planks, and rushed out from the gap between the shield cars.

There are 12 Qing soldiers holding a moat bridge. The first two Qing soldiers are holding shields in one hand and holding the moat bridge in the other hand. The ten soldiers in the back, five on each side, are holding knives in one hand. Lift the bridge with one hand.

The Qing army let out a roar that shook the sky, and at this moment, Wang Deren suddenly swung his right hand downwards, and let out a scream, "Let it go!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a sudden sound of gunfire, and the wall of the village was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke, covering the entire front line.

The shield that the Qing army was protecting in front of their chests was immediately shot with sparks, and the shield chariot was also hit by the gunballs, making a "cracking" sound.

Although it failed to penetrate the shield chariot, it also made the Qing army behind them a little nervous.

The soldiers who rushed out of the shield carts to erect the trench bridge rushed to the edge of the trench against the projectiles fired by the Wei army, and suddenly the soldiers holding the shields in front fell down one after another.

During the charge, the Qing army in front did not find the barbed caltrops scattered on the ground by the Wei army. They were pierced through the soles of their feet one by one, and they fell to the ground wailing.

At this time, there was a "bang bang bang" sound on the wall of the village, and the soldiers behind had no protection, and they were knocked back instantly.

Doduo rode on a horse and watched with binoculars. He saw the Qing army approaching the trench suddenly stagnate, and the soldiers who lost their shield protection were shot to death one after another. His face turned cold and he cursed angrily, "You barbarian, how despicable!"

Under the alternate firing of the Wei army's muskets behind the wall, the soldiers of the Qing army fell to the ground one after another and died by the side of the ditch. However, the soldiers who were not hit by the back immediately picked up their shields and protected their bodies. The corpse rolled on the ground, and the barbed wire was swept away. Then, together with other Qing troops, a trench bridge was laid across the trench, and boards were thrown on it for the shield vehicles to pass through.

Standing on the watchtower, Gao Yihuan couldn't help being surprised to see that the soldiers of the Qing army were organized, not just rushing randomly, but had a clear division of labor.

"The Herald Artillery Squad is a shield car that has fought trenches!" Gao Yihuan grasped the handrails on the wooden railing with both hands, his palms were sweating, and suddenly shouted orders.

The Wei army didn't have many artillery pieces, so it was necessary to distinguish between priorities and urgency when firing artillery, and to hit the most threatening targets on the wall. Ditch, ready to push the shield car under the wall of the village.

Tang Tong saw the well-built trench bridges appearing on the trenches, and immediately waved his knife and pointed angrily, "Rush across the trenches, and the archers will immediately suppress the enemy camp."

The first ditch was fifty steps away from the camp, where the firecrackers were likely to be able to penetrate armor, and the second ditch was twenty steps away from the camp, and entered the killing range of the infantry.

Almost at the moment when Tang Tong gave the order, Li Jiyu, the general of the Wei army in the camp, drew his sword and pointed forward angrily, "Nock the arrow and put it on the string."

In the camp, more than [-] archers lined up in three rows. The soldiers picked up an arrow with their fingers and put it on the bowstring. The arrow pointed obliquely at the sky, but they didn't pull it away.

Bows and arrows are no better than firecrackers. It takes a lot of strength for a soldier to shoot one arrow. Generally, a soldier who shoots ten arrows in a row and then shoots later is exhausted.

At this time, as the trench bridge was erected, the shield vehicles of the Qing army began to pass through the trench bridge, guarding the soldiers of the Qing army, and entered the area between the first ditch and the second ditch.

The sound of "bang bang bang" and "crack bang" and the sound of bullets hitting the shield chariot made the Qing army tremble with fear. The soldiers followed the shield chariot with their backs bent, cleaning the barbed wire and walking slowly. .

"Pull the circle, let it go!" When the soldiers of the Qing army rushed through the first trench, Li Jiyu immediately shouted with a knife.

The archer of the Wei army who stretched the bow and strung the string immediately pulled the bowstring to a full circle, and then let it go suddenly.

Only a "buzzing" sound was heard, and [-] feathered arrows soared into the sky at once, and then fell at an extremely fast speed, like black locusts.

The shield chariot could only block the firecrackers coming from the front, but it couldn't stop the rain of arrows from overhead. The soldiers of the Qing army behind the shield chariot were hit by arrows one after another and fell to the ground wailing.

Almost at the same time, the cannons on the wall of the village also opened fire one after another. Amidst the sound of "boom boom boom", the cannons were suddenly pushed, and along with the white smoke rising from the wall of the village, the shells roared towards them.

The shield car that can't be penetrated by the firecrackers, even the less powerful Fran cannon, is like paper in front of the iron bullets fired by the artillery.

The shield car of the Qing army just passed the trench bridge was directly smashed by the shells, and the shield plate turned into sawdust, flying in all directions.

After the shield chariot was knocked out, the Qing army behind lost its protection. Amid the sound of "bang bang bang", the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who were stabbed by broken wood were immediately beaten so that their bodies trembled, and they fell backwards on their backs. go down.

At this time, a wall of sheep and horses half as high as a wheel appeared in front of the shield chariot, and the forward shield chariot was also blocked. In front of Erdaogou, he stopped again.

Seeing that the Qing army's offensive was hindered, Duoduo frowned, and suddenly waved: "The cannons fire quickly to suppress the bandits!"

At this time, the catapult machine of the Qing army had been pulled two hundred steps away, and the erection was completed.

The soldiers of the Qing army manipulated the cannon carriage and shot out a cannon stone to adjust the distance of the cannon carriage.

A stone weighing more than ten kilograms was thrown away by the throwing rod, drew an arc, and directly hit a section of the wall, immediately smashed a hole in the wooden railing, and killed two Wei Jun gunners.

Seeing the results of the battle, Duoduo was overjoyed, and still couldn't help admiring, "Okay! The artillery carts are fired at once, and smashed the wall of the bandit camp for the king!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen black objects suddenly rose from the Wei army's barracks, drawing a parabola as well, heading straight for the Qing army's artillery group.

Duoduo thought it was Gao Yihuan's cannon carriage that was going to counterattack, but he didn't expect that as soon as these cannon stones flew out of the Wei army's camp, several of them suddenly exploded directly in the sky, like thunder.

Before the Qing army had time to be surprised, they saw more than a dozen artillery stones exploding all the way and falling into the Qing army artillery group. The soldiers of the Qing army who were operating the artillery felt a shocking force coming, and the huge explosion sounded like There was a sound of thunder above his head and beside him, and the gun carriage that had just been set up was blown away together with the soldiers of the Qing army.

Seeing this scene, Duoduo couldn't help but stare his eyes round, his mouth opened into a circle, and he was stunned in place.
