Chapter 1026: Bombarding Wild Boar Ridge

"All keep up, line up... don't be messed up!"

A Baimao, wearing a steel helmet, wearing a green military uniform, and wearing a grass-green anti-spike suit, bent over and held a musket in his hand. While moving forward, he looked around carefully and kept shouting. In front of him was a row of soldiers holding shields. The task of these soldiers was to use the shields in their hands to protect the robes behind him from the damage of cold arrows.

This is halfway up the mountain on the right side of the Wild Boar Ridge. Under Gou Xingma's command, the Seventh Battalion dispatched two brigades (thousand-man teams) to attack the bandits from the hillsides on both sides. However, the team marched halfway up the hillside, no large bandits were found except for talking about the figures of several bandits.

The Qiang General, who led the team, did not neglect it because of this, but instead ordered the soldiers to slow down and disperse their formation.

On the right side of the Wild Boar Ridge, He Yilong looked at the Jiangning Army who was standing in an orderly lined up in his forehead, and his face showed an impatient look. He didn't expect that these Ming troops would be so calm and could rush up the mountain in one go, but they were still so careful.

After thinking about it, he said to a bandit around him: "Send someone to tell Kong Xiaoer immediately and let him tentatively shoot arrows at the Ming army and disrupt their formation."

"clear!"

The bandit archers who received He Yilong's orders poked out from behind the hiding stones and trees, bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army that was slowly advancing onto the mountain.

"careful!"

A 100-year-old general who was commanding the sergeant to advance saw the black shadows flashing in front of him and immediately shouted.

"The bandits are about to shoot arrows, hide quickly!"

"Swoosh swish swish..."

Amid the dull sound of bowstrings, arrows shot down from the mountain.

Just as the President shouted loudly, the soldiers walking in the front immediately gathered together at the fastest speed, lined up in three rows, erected the shield, and hid tightly behind the shield. The shield player in the second and third rows put the shield together and raised it diagonally over his head.

"Dangdang...Dangdangdang..."

As soon as the shield players did all this, hundreds of arrows fell on their heads like raindrops, and the arrow hit the shield and made a crisp and dull metallic impact.

In addition to the crisp metal impact, there were dull sounds coming from time to time. It was the sound of arrows that escaped the net hitting the sergeant. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Jiangning Army were wearing anti-spike suits and helmets on their heads, so the casualties were not high. Moreover, whenever the sergeant fell down, his companions would drag him back as soon as possible.

Faced with the bandits' arrow rain, General Qian, who was commanding the battle behind, was also anxious. Now they are still three or four hundred meters away from the bandits. The brown besiegers they equipped cannot cause harm to the enemy at this distance. On the contrary, the bandits can use their condescending advantages to shoot arrows at them.

Charging or defense is a difficult problem facing President Qian.

A 100-year-old general found him, "Sir, order the charge, just a few hundred meters. As long as you can reach a distance of eighty meters, we will let the thieves see how powerful we are."

"No, the terrain here is too complicated. If we charge, our team will be scattered. In this way, the role of the shield formation will be gone, and the lives of the brothers cannot be wasted in vain. The messenger will immediately report to the Duke and ask for support from the artillery battalion!"

"clear!"

"Hahahaha...brothers, all of them shot me arrows and shot all these Ming dogs to death!"

He Yilong on the top of the mountain looked at Ming Jun who was huddled behind the shield and couldn't move forward. It was so satisfying that I could only hit you, but you couldn't hit me.

He Yilong even thought of what happened after the war. This is the famous Jiangning Army. If these Ming troops can be annihilated, the Ming Dynasty, which he "eyed" in the Ming Dynasty, would definitely spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

And what he coveted the most were the muskets in the hands of Jiangning Army. When he was in Shaanxi, he had fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army. At that time, he didn't understand that the powerful bandits of the muskets fell countless corpses in front of rows of muskets. If he could also equip thousands of muskets, his strength would immediately change drastically, and it is unknown that he could become the most powerful force in the 36th battalion.

It’s a pity that He Yilong’s idea was good, but he underestimated Jiang Ningjun too much.

Gou Xingma, who was below, had already seen clearly about the situation on the hillside. When he received a request for help from President Qian, he issued an order to open fire to the artillery battalion without hesitation.

“Let it go… let it go!”

With the sound of deafening cannons, fierce flames emerged from the muzzles of one cannon.

As the shells roared, one by one fell on the mountain.

“Woo…”

An eighteen-pound flowering bullet that made a low whimper hit the trunk of a big tree. After slamming the uncle, who was as thick as a bucket, he broke out pits as big as a fist, and then he bounced heavily to the ground. After rolling for a few meters, he suddenly exploded.

The explosion of the breaking and thick smoke covered all the surrounding area more than ten meters. Hundreds of bullets and steel balls inside splashed everywhere under the push of gunpowder, knocking six or seven bandits to the ground, and several bandits who were not dead.

The sudden shelling also made the bandit archers who were shooting happily stunned, while the faces of some archers who had fought with Lu Xiangsheng changed drastically. Until now, they have not forgotten the power of the explosive projectiles shot by the opponent when they fought with Lu Xiangsheng's new army. It was a monster that could destroy everything.

"ah……"

"The officers and soldiers are shooting artillery, run away."

Some archers turned around and ran back immediately, while some archers who had not been poisoned by artillery tea were still standing there in a daze.

"Brush the chamber..."

The artillery battalion at the foot of the mountain would not worry about the lives of these bandits. When the artillery was fired, one loader immediately took the cannon brush and brushed the cannon chamber with the cannon brush, and another loaded the gunpowder, and the other filled the cannon. The loading, aiming, and launching the cannon was calm and almost done in one go.

Although the gunners of the Third Battalion Artillery Battalion have been stationed in Jiangning Guards for a long time and have almost never participated in actual combat, they can't stand it. They have a rich boss who has live ammunition training every month. After shooting so much ammunition, no matter how stupid people are, they become skilled.

Although they could not reach the speed of the first and second artillery battalions in the Luzon Kingdom at this moment, five or six shots could still be achieved.

"Let it go again!"

Another whistling of shells.
