Chapter 337 Bombarding Nanjing City!
Chapter 337: Burning Nanjing City!
Feng Wei took his sniper team and quietly approached the Ming army.
Speaking of which, Feng Wei is also an old sniper around Zhang Zhun. Among the second batch of snipers selected by Zhang Zhun, he existed. Except for the most qualified Ma Yi group, it was their turn. However, in the sniper team, he has always been an unknown person. His shooting accuracy is not the highest, his reloading speed is not the fastest, and his record is not the most dazzling.
Later, when he joined the army as the commander of the team, the sniper team he organized was still not the best. During the military competition, among the ten blocking teams, their performance ranked eighth. This time, their group performance was still the most ordinary, neither good nor bad. But Feng Wei was quite satisfied with this. He was originally a person who was easier to satisfy. Therefore, his life was always more comfortable and uneven.
"Beware of the enemy."
"Come on the back."
Feng Wei quietly greeted the soldiers.
They slowly approached the Ming army from the east slope. The slope here had relatively large undulations, more flowers, plants and trees, which was conducive to cover. At the same time, the slope here had relatively large area, which was conducive to their maneuvering and could effectively avoid the artillery fire of the Ming army. Soon, they appeared behind the slope less than fifty feet away from the Ming army.
Standing behind the slope, Feng Wei could clearly see all the movements of the Ming army. The Ming army's team was still very dense. This was the most traditional combat formation. There were cannons in front, spearmen behind, followed by large spray guns, and then musketeers. According to the Ming army's queue, the number of people in this group of Ming army will definitely not be less than one thousand.
What Feng Wei was most worried about was that the Ming army turned the cannons, loaded them with grape bullets, and then fired them in a volley. At a distance of fifty feet, the grape bullets were still very powerful and the hit rate was very high. To be honest, if a grape bullet fell on their heads, the five of them would basically have no chance of surviving. Fortunately, the Ming army's muzzle did not turn around, and was always facing the direction of the main road.
“Intensive shooting!”
"After fighting, transfer the position immediately!"
"After transferring the position, reload it!"
"Do you understand?"
Feng Wei shouted in a low voice.
"clear!"
The four companions answered together.
"good!"
"I'll count three, two, and everyone shoots together!"
Feng Wei shouted coldly.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Feng Wei counted down quickly.
When the last number was exited, Feng Wei decisively pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The moment Feng Wei fired, the four companions also fired at the same time.
Five Minnie bullets roared away and shot into the Ming army without any suspense.
At such a distance, there is naturally no problem in shooting such a dense formation. However, before they could observe the effect of shooting, they immediately packed up the Hu Ben gun and quickly moved to the side. They had to leave their original position at least twenty meters to avoid being attacked by grape bullets. No one dared to underestimate the lethality of grape bullets.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Sure enough, as soon as they left their original position, they heard a dull sound coming from behind. It seemed that it was not a cannon firing, but a large gun. This big guy who operated two people together should not be considered a musket, but a small gun. The sound of each fire seemed to be a Folang machine cannon, and it needed to be carefully distinguished to distinguish.
The huge projectile shot from the large spray gun hit the slope where Feng Wei and the others had just appeared, and kept knocking the grass flying. The soil was also splashed up. After being continuously bombarded by the large spray gun, the slope seemed to be the head of a scammer. It was said that it was ugly, it was as ugly as it was. However, no matter how powerful the large spray gun was, it could not hit Feng Wei and the others. Because they were no longer in their original position.
After the five people rushed out twenty or thirty feet quickly, Feng Wei quietly observed the surroundings and found that he was still about fifty feet away from the Ming army, but he had just changed the angle. So the five people quickly reloaded the bullets and then looked for an opportunity to continue firing volleys. He shot them out with one shot and immediately moved, and the Ming army's large spray guns would never be allowed to find their traces.
After repeated cycles, they didn't know how many Ming troops had killed, because they had to quickly transfer without having time to see. However, based on the formation of the Ming army and their own shooting level, I believe that there will be no missing Ming troops. Feng Wei roughly estimated that they shot eight rounds in total. According to the calculation that at least three Ming troops were killed in each round, more than twenty Ming troops fell.
In fact, on the battlefield, there are nine sniper teams like Feng Wei. The sniper teams led by Yang Weiguo, Zhong Wuying and Liu Jixiang are all among them. Their shooting level is better than Feng Wei's sniper team. The number of Ming troops they killed is more than Feng Wei's sniper team.
In addition, Dugu Lie, Zhu Chengtai, Yuwen Hantao, Bianfeng, Zhang Yuanzhi, Jin Zhenyue and other snipers of the Tiger Army successfully deployed a dense firepower network intertwined by the god of death around the Ming army. Although their number was small, their record was quite amazing. As long as their bullets were shot, they rarely had the chance to fail.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Under the attack of the Minnie bomb, the Ming army line in the middle of the road kept falling down.
It is impossible for ten cannons to shoot in four different directions. Moreover, Zhao Zhufeng insisted that the sporadic shooting from all around was all the tricks of Zhang Zhunsheng attacking the east and west and luring the tiger away from the mountain. In fact, Zhang Zhun's real main force was still in front of the main road. If he shifted the shooting direction of the cannon, Zhang Zhun's main force would soon rush up. Therefore, the ten cannons still pointed to the front of the main road.
The soldiers of the Tiger Army used such gaps to continuously shoot and kill the Ming army. Such battles were simply specially set up for snipers and sniper teams. Their performance was particularly active. The Ming army was in a passive defense and wanted to counterattack, but they could not find the specific position of the enemy. In addition to random shooting and a large amount of ammunition, there was also a serious panic within the Ming army.
In a short while, more than 200 people fell from the Ming army. At this moment, the Ming army could not hold on. The guards in Nanjing were still implemented according to the military system of the garrison. The highest was the commander Zhao Zhufeng. Below were thousands of households, deputy thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, small flags, and soldiers. During the sporadic shooting, Zhao Zhufeng could not feel the major casualties caused by the troops, but the thousands of households below felt it.
A thousand husbands shouted to Zhao Zhufeng: "Sir, I can't stand it anymore, there are enemies everywhere."
There was another hundred household who shouted desperately: "Sir, I have all been exhausted."
Zhao Zhufeng was angry and shouted viciously: "Bastard! I told you to bring more people! You just don't listen! Only a dozen people came to one hundred people, who wouldn't be able to do it if you don't do it!"
The hundred households shouted aggrievedly: "Sir, I brought more than fifty people here! More than fifty people! All of them were beaten to death!"
Zhao Zhufeng was shocked and said in a lost voice: "What?"
More than fifty people were beaten to death? How could it be?
He hurriedly followed the hundred households and came to their defensive position. Sure enough, he found that the corpses of the Ming army were everywhere. The remaining Ming army was constantly retreating. The Ming army's grenade guns and large spray guns had no idea which direction to shoot. Because there could be enemies in any direction around.
In the direction of the defense of the Hundred Houses, the Hu Ben Army's attack was very fierce. Bullets kept coming. No one knew where these enemies were hiding. Zhao Zhufeng did not dare to stand up, but only dared to stand up and listen carefully to the movements around. As a result, after listening for a while, Zhao Zhufeng concluded that all around were enemies!
"Grass!"
"Zhang Zhun must be more than 500 people!"
"Zhao Lanfeng, you are so damn bad, you are lying to your brothers!"
In a hurry, Zhao Zhufeng couldn't help but curse his brother.
Zhang Zhun's troops must have more than 500 people! How could a 500-man army have such strong combat power? How could it be that everyone around Zhang Zhun's people? This damn thing, he is still his brother of his father and mother, who actually deceived him. Is this going to die on purpose? What are the benefits for him to die if he dies?
In anger, he completely forgot that his elder brother Zhao Zhufeng reminded him that Zhang Zhun's troops were fearless and had very powerful weapons. He asked him to retreat to the city as soon as possible, but he himself was unwilling to accept it.
"withdraw!"
"Retreat to the city!"
Zhao Zhufeng was not a fool either. He found himself outnumbered and immediately ordered a retreat.
There are enemies all around, how to fight this battle? If the enemy surrounds all over the world, his more than 1,000 Jinwu guards will be completely finished. Without Jinwu guards, the status of their Zhao family in Nanjing City will undergo tremendous changes. Not to mention anything else, even his own son will not let him go. If the entire Jinwu guard is really damaged, Zhao Zhufeng believes that his son will definitely break his legs to serve as a warning to you.
"Sir, what should I do with these cannons?"
After receiving the order to retreat, the artillery officers were stunned.
They were waiting for the enemy to come from the front, and then fired guns and bombarded them, and the shells were all inside the cannon. As a result, the enemy did not wait, but instead waited for the order to retreat. Drag the cannon and retreated could not run fast. Because it took time to put the war horse on the cannon again. During this period, it was enough for the enemy to rush up to kill them several times. Of course, what they were more willing to do was to escape on the war horse, and the cannon was not allowed. The four legs of the war horse were faster than the two legs of a human.
"You guys can do it yourself!"
Zhao Zhufeng said hurriedly for fear that he would fall into Zhang Zhun's hands.
Then, he took his family and turned around and left. He had a war horse, and his confidants around him also had war horses. After getting on the horse, Zhao Zhufeng immediately waved his whip hard, and the horse's hooves sounded and left.
The artillery officers looked at me, and I looked at you, and said nothing. They pulled a war horse and turned around and ran away. They asked me to do it as I could. As for the effects of these cannons falling into Zhang Zhun's hands, they didn't care.
Since the commander had all run away, all the Ming army suddenly scattered. Everyone spread their feet and ran desperately towards the direction of Jinchuan Gate. Some Ming army even wanted their own muskets in order to escape with light equipment. As for bulky weapons such as large spray guns, they were thrown away. With these cumbersome guys, they only fools would do this.
The ten cannons naturally fell easily into Zhang Zhun's hands. When Zhou Yanyu and his team checked the cannons, they found that the shells were still in the cannon chamber. What the Ming army gunners had to do was to light the fuse. However, they were too lazy to even do the simplest action. It can be seen how panicked they were when they ran away.
"Sir, the enemy doesn't even want cannons."
"These guys! They all have a good meal!"
"The shells are still inside the barrel! They can be fired if they are lit!"
Zhang Youcai, Zhou Yanyu and others all said with contemptuous smiles.
"Center the cannons."
"Switch the gun! Shoot at Jinchuan Gate!"
"Fire hard! Hit Nanjing City!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hands vigorously and gave orders coldly.
There are ten powerful red cannons in Beijing, but there are no one in Nanjing. There are only Folang cannons in Nanjing. In other words, if Zhang Zhun likes them, he can use these ten Folang cannons to hit Nanjing City to shock everyone. Isn’t his purpose to come to Jiangnan to make the entire Jiangnan know about Zhang Zhun’s existence? Cannons of Nanjing City definitely do this! Compared with the previous small fights, this is the real climax!
Of course, there are many artillery in Nanjing City, and there are many defenders. The walls are high and strong. It is impossible for him to forcibly attack Nanjing City. Therefore, the bombardment is just a bombardment. After the bombardment, it can only be a temporary return to silence. Zhang Zhun has to accumulate greater strength to attack Nanjing City. However, for the people who don’t know the truth, how could they know this? They will only know that Nanjing City was bombarded and bombarded by a man named Zhang Zhun!
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The soldiers of the Tiger Army who temporarily acted as gunners ignited the fuse.
