Chapter 632 Possession by Africans (Please subscribe!)

Author: Linjiangjun

The current situation seems to be more beneficial to the Kashote Khanate, because as long as they stay in the grass shed to take shelter from the rain, they can use long-range missiles from above.

And you don’t have to worry about bows and arrows being damaged or firearms being unable to hit when used in rain or snow.

I guess they mostly use bows and arrows, and Heshuote's junk shotguns, which are simply discarded when it rains.

Due to the slope, a bow with an original range of 150 meters may be able to reach an effective range of more than 250 meters.

As for the lightning-operated rifles (Mine guns) on the Ming Dynasty, they will still be affected by this kind of weather.

Ming Dynasty's smokeless powder-loaded paper-cased bullets are indeed waterproof, but if the firearm itself gets water, it will still be difficult.

Coupled with the low-to-high attack, limited range and viewing angle, and rain interference, it is indeed not easy to attack.

Pan Aqiang thought that since he was already here, he might be able to win by firing an attack.

He called two squad captains of the Guards and asked them to each lead a centurion to try to attack.

In order to ensure the hit rate of bullets, the infantry of the Guards chose a multi-level three-dimensional attack.

Some of them climbed up to attract fire, and some of them sniped from behind to attack the archers who appeared on the opposite side.

Those soldiers who bravely climbed up were instructed to add an extra layer of armor, their bloated bodies, and braved the thin sleet and snow before going forward.

Sure enough, after entering about 150 meters, I heard a strange whistling sound. It was the sound of bowstrings, the whistling of arrows, and the sound of wind and snow mixed together, echoing in the mountains.

The archers of Heshuote were very proud of themselves. It was rare to have such an advantage in fighting, and they were able to draw their bows more vigorously than before.

What they didn't know was that these bow arrows didn't break armor at all!

Pan Aqiang's soldiers held an umbrella for him. He held a pipe in his mouth and observed the enemy's situation with binoculars.

He saw his own snipers aiming at the enemy's archers, but the enemy's archers didn't know whether to live or die, and would straighten up to shoot arrows from time to time. Before the arrows could be shot, the enemy's archers would fall down.

If the weather had been good, the archer might have been killed instantly before he even had a chance to raise his bow and arrow.

Under the cover of snipers, the advance of the front row of infantry went very smoothly.

The infantrymen in the front row were holding shotguns, a melee artifact. Their faces showed eagerness to try. Obviously, they usually had too few opportunities to use them at close range.

As they continued to get closer, they discovered that the fire was flashing and the sound was loud in the Heshuote people's straw hut, which was the sound of their shotguns.

Heshuote people are not stupid. Since it is raining outside, they should hide in a sheltered place and shoot.

From the high-power telescope, it can be seen that it is actually a long bird gun, which is lit and fired, not a flintlock gun.

The most irritating thing is that the Heshuote soldiers discovered that the Ming army's bullets were so accurate that they didn't even dare to shoot.

They just raised their matchlocks above their heads and fired blindly without even looking!

Seeing only bullets but no people, it feels like Africa.

For the lower-level soldiers of Heshuote, the main reason for participating in the war is to fill their stomachs. They cherish their lives very much. Raising it above their heads and horizontally can not only suppress the enemy's firepower and kill the enemy as much as possible, but also

Save your own life, why not?

Under the blind fire of the Heshuo special forces, the situation of the Ming army's front row troops was still good. The enemy's firearms fire was lively, but the momentum was not practical, and the hit rate was very impressive. The Guards still moved forward steadily without being affected at all.

.

Nearly fifty meters!

The Guards began to speed up, and the hundred-man squad wanted to concentrate their strength and annihilate the enemy in one go.

at this time!

The Khoshut Khanate pulled out its trump card: stones.

The primitive method of throwing stones is still effective in the 21st century.

For example, in the plateau border conflicts between a large eastern country and a certain Asan country, most of the time they were throwing stones at each other.

Soon, the enemy's camp threw a large number of stones, which fell like hail on the advancing Guards. Although it could not cause serious damage, it effectively hindered the advance of the Guards.

Then the Heshuo special forces opened up many areas of the camp and pushed large rolling stones down the mountain one after another!

These rolling stones weigh about a hundred kilograms, have their edges chiseled off, and are nearly spherical in shape. They roll down the slope one by one, rolling faster and faster, with a majestic and terrifying sound.

Facing the boulder, the officer decisively ordered loudly: "Retreat! Find cover!"

Many soldiers were so frightened by the boulder that they slipped and rolled down the hillside.

For a moment, everyone was on their backs, and the first attack was declared a failure.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, General Pan Aqiang gave up his plan to attack and immediately ordered: "Gather the troops and withdraw the troops today."

After the melee ended, the attacking team began to count the number of people. Fortunately, the Guards generally ran at a top-notch speed, and no one died. They all ran back.

However, more than thirty people were injured by stones, and the most serious one was a broken leg!

Pan Aqiang looked at the map. According to the reconnaissance soldiers, this was the only way to go around. I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible without conquering Saigu Pass.

Just wait, the weather can't stay like this.

Fortunately, one day later, the sky was clear at the mountain pass, and the sun shone fiercely on the ground.

Unwilling to wait any longer, Pan Aqiang ordered mortars to conduct a full-coverage shelling of the mountain pass ahead!

Boom boom boom!

The Ming Dynasty's artillery finally began to show its power, bombarding the grass sheds on the mountain pass indiscriminately.

Blast Heshuote's camp to pieces.

Under the cover of mortars, the Guards infantry raised their shields and slowly advanced toward the hillside to the drums of the military band.

What is unexpected is that many soldiers of the Khoshot Khanate braved the artillery fire and pushed down huge boulders down the mountain!

Facing the boulder, the Guardsmen were unusually helpless.

As soon as they saw the boulders, their mortar positions had to be relocated quickly, otherwise they would be crushed by the rocks in vain.

"Trouble, really trouble!"

Pan Aqiang has a headache. The Guards also have another weapon, which is the black tornado rocket.

However, the mountain wind at the mountain pass is so strong. If the Black Tornado rocket is blown back by the wind and hits your camp, wouldn't it be a heavy loss?

Next to Pan Aqiang was a young officer named Xu Xianwu, who was the top military officer who escaped from the Qing Dynasty.

He followed Huang Qing and fought bravely in Gansu, but now he has come to serve as an official in the First Town.

Xu Xianwu watched the whole process through the telescope and advised Pan Aqiang: "General Pan, this place is dangerous and cannot be conquered overnight. The reason why the Ming Dynasty's attack is unfavorable is that the road is slippery. Why doesn't the general wait for the road to be dried before attacking?"

Pan Aqiang also knew this and replied in a deep voice: "The weather in the snow area is unpredictable. I'm worried that it will rain and snow again tomorrow. It's better to take advantage of the clear weather today and win it this morning!"

"What the general said is absolutely true!"

Xu Xianwu continued to observe the pass and said: "I don't know who is guarding this place, but it is well guarded!"

In fact, when the Guards attacked today, they also adopted a test method. The soldiers learned what they learned and put it into practice. They used iron speakers to continuously output the Tibetan curse words they had just learned to the top of the mountain. As a result, the opponent was not hit and did not move at all.
