Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 179: preparation! Fire!

The Fengjiazhuang battle that just broke out is very important to the current Tang Dynasty, and its importance is no less than the battle of Luohu Valley last year.

Its victory or defeat will directly affect the survival of the Tang Dynasty!

If Fengjiazhuang can be successfully captured and a large amount of food stored in it can be obtained, then the food crisis in Huangzhushan can be alleviated by more than half immediately. If we try to get some food from other villages in the future, Huangzhushan will be able to survive this year.

If Fengjiazhuang cannot be won, then the food crisis in Huangzhushan will not be relieved in a short time, and Li Xuan and the others must find a way to go to more villages to raise food.

Delays in time and changes in plans mean increased risks.

After all, now the Ming army already knew that they had come out of the mountain, and sent reconnaissance cavalry to look for them. If the Ming army seized the opportunity and was ambushed, then the end would be quite bad.

It is precisely because the battle of Fengjiazhuang is so important, whether it is Li Xuan, Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and the others, all of them attach great importance.

In the first round of the bridge operation, the two musket teams and archers were all dispatched, and the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in the rear were also lined up in the rear to prevent accidents.

Even for a better suppression effect, the musket team did not stay at the farthest effective range, but moved forward gradually after three rounds of suppression shooting at about 100 meters.

During this process, a large number of bullets continued to hit the city head, and the huge impact of the bullets even splashed the debris. Moreover, a few people from Fengjiazhuang on the city head did not hide in time and were hit by bullets.

So much so that there was a tragic moan on the top of the city, and soon those people in Fengjiazhuang on the top of the city retracted their bodies one by one and hid behind the city wall.

So that from the outside, the top of the city is almost empty, but if you look down from the sky, you will find that there are at least 200 people lying on the top of the city behind the city wall, holding various Some people carry bows, knives and guns, and some even carry the original fire guns of the Ming army.

Just from these primitive fire guns in their hands, it can be seen that this Fengjiazhuang is completely different from other ordinary villages.

As for behind the city wall, several men in brocade robes looked through the battlements at the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain outside, all of them with heavy expressions on their faces.

From time to time, they lowered their bodies and talked to each other, obviously discussing occupation.

Slowly, nearly 80 musketeers of the Musket Team approached the Fengjiazhuang Walled Wall about 70 meters away.

This distance can be said to be a relatively dangerous distance. If a large number of archers suddenly emerge from the city and shoot arrows at the musketeers, it will cause certain dangers to the musketeers.

However, at this time, the archers also followed, and they even stood ahead of the musketeers. Once a large number of archers appeared in the direction of the city, these archers would decisively shoot arrows to give the musketeers fire support.

At this time, after the musketeers approached, the continuous rounds of fire came down. Most of the musketeers loaded the bullets under the order of the officer, but did not pull the trigger to shoot, but kept aiming at the city continuously. head.

Due to the slow rate of fire, in order to ensure the instant fire suppression effect on the city head, the plan made by Wang Danxu and the musketeer officers was to use the progressive round-fire mode at first, but when they entered a distance of about 60 meters Afterwards, only a small number of soldiers were allowed to shoot in turns, maintaining a small-scale continuous fire suppression.

But the vast majority of soldiers are loaded with ammunition and stand by!

If the opponent dares to counterattack from the battlements on a large scale, then they will shoot a lot of bullets in an instant.

However, the Fengjiazhuang soldiers and horses on the top of the city were obviously unwilling to fight against the Huangzhushan bandits with long-range firepower. Except for the accidental shooting of seven or eight people at the beginning, they have been hiding behind the battlements since then. Outside Li Xuan and Fang Dongquan, they couldn't even see their figures.

The unknowing people thought they were fighting against the empty city wall.

But in reality, Li Xuan and Fang Dongquan knew very well that a large number of enemies were behind the city walls, and the real danger had yet to come.

When is the most dangerous time, when the people who are responsible for carrying trees in Huangzhu Mountain go forward to build the bridge. At this time, the people who build the bridge need to get close to the city wall, which is only about ten meters away, which can be said to be quite dangerous.

Seeing that the Musket Team had established a firepower advantage and completely suppressed the opponent's counterattack, Li Xuan nodded slightly at this time: "Let them start!"

Following Li Xuan's order, the people behind started to act one by one. This time, the musket team and the archers were responsible for the protection of firepower, while the safety of the people who built the bridge was carried by themselves. A giant shield made of thick planks is in charge.

Due to the lack of armor, the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain are forced to use the most primitive giant wooden shield as the main protective force every time they attack the fortified city, so as to avoid the enemy's bow and arrow.

There are not many Huangzhushan bandits who attacked this time. There are only more than forty people in total, and most of the forty people are carrying huge wooden shields, and the remaining ten people are carrying each other. trees, and planks used to lay on them.

The sound of the drums gradually increased, and the bandits from Huangzhu Mountain, who were carrying giant wooden shields and trees, began to step forward, especially when they reached fifty meters, and the officers who led the team uttered a 'rush', and everyone was desperate. Run like crazy.

Just as they were running wildly, Wang Danxu raised the waist knife in his hand again and shouted: "Prepare!"

He is always ready to provide the most direct and most favorable cover for the bridging troops, that is, at the moment when a large number of enemies emerge and try to counterattack, directly suppress the opponent through dense bullets.

The bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, carrying giant wooden shields and trees, started running~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Everyone was running forward desperately. It is possible to die here.

At this time, the men in brocade robes on the top of the city also shouted loudly. About twenty or thirty young men behind the battlements were already armed with bows and arrows, ready to stand up and bend their bows at any time.

At this time, time seemed to be getting slower and slower. Whether it was Huang Zhushan's side or Fengjiazhuang's side, the generals on both sides seemed to be able to hear their heavy breathing.

Just after the Huangzhu Mountain bandits who were carrying the trees rushed to a distance of about 30 meters, someone suddenly shouted at the top of the city: "Shoot!"

Afterwards, many Fengjiazhuang Qingzhuang armed with bows and arrows appeared on the battlements at the same time. They quickly bent their bows, and then prepared to aim at the Huangzhu Mountain bandits thirty meters away, who were running towards the moat.

However, at this time, Wang Danxu, who was outside the city, had already swung down the commanding knife he held high, and shouted at the same time, "Fire!"

As his command knife slammed down, the two musket teams instantly sounded a burst of gunfire, and before the white smoke rose, there were bursts of screams from the top of the city!
