Valley Emperor

Don't be surprised, the trapping camp that supervises the target is based on the assault battalion of the Datang Army!

When they first encountered the assault battalion of the Datang Army, the ordinary troops who were supervising the target were not opponents at all, because the Datang Army used the assault battalion, basically when attacking the city, and this kind of battle often happened in the narrow city wall. , Complete melee, not the troops wearing heavy armor, simply can't resist.

Later, like the ordinary Ming army, the superintendent began to focus on heavy armored infantry for targeted confrontation. Later, it was found that it was still not feasible, because although the assault battalion of the Datang Army was a heavy armored unit, it was actually a multi-armed unit.

There are heavy armored swordsmen and shield soldiers, musketeers, grenadiers, and sometimes even archers. If you want melee hand-to-hand combat, you need close-range fire support, close-range fire support, and even medium and long-range firepower. All have.

In the later period, the assault battalion of the Datang Army even brought shotguns!

Therefore, the Superintendent started to use musketeers, archers, and even artillery from Wankou Cannons to support the heavy armored infantry in the confrontation, but the temporary cooperation was definitely not good.

So later, I didn't think much about it, and directly imitated the Datang Army Assault Battalion and established their own trap camp!

From the preparation to the arms and weapons and equipment, they are all copied!

It's just that the tactical positioning is somewhat different. Their trap camp is not used to siege the city, but to specifically fight against the Datang Army assault battalion.

Even the assault battalion of the Datang Army has long been equipped with plate armor and flintlock guns, but the difference between the two is still very small.

The Tang Army was very speechless about this, but it wasn't once or twice that the supervisor plagiarized the Datang Army, and they were not surprised.

When the assault battalion of the Datang Army began to climb the ruins, the inner supervising camp also began to climb the ruins of the city wall, and their speed was even faster. If nothing else, they would have a great possibility to first. Climb to the top of the ruins and take the height advantage!

But this kind of battle for ruins is naturally not because the Ming army first occupied the top, and then the Datang Army assault battalion gave up, they will continue to attack until they are completely occupied!

How long had the entire Second Army been preparing for a breakthrough opportunity for the assault battalion!

In the early stage, many artillery preparations, digging tunnels for blasting, and digging trenches to advance are all for the day of the general attack. In the early stage of the general attack, the core purpose was to attack the assault battalion and occupy the ruins of the city wall.

Even now, the hundreds of artillery pieces in the rear are continuing to shell, and the thousands of musketeers behind them are just to provide fire support for the assault battalion!

At this critical moment, how can you give up so easily!

At this time, the soldiers who were at the forefront of the assault battalion were already about to climb to the top of the ruins. The ones who rushed at the forefront were naturally not the heavily armored sword and shield fighters wearing full body armor. They were carrying too much weight and climbing The speed of this kind of ruins is a bit slow.

The ones rushing ahead are the grenadiers!

Although they are also wearing armor, they only wear breastplates, so the load is relatively light, and they need to rush ahead to launch the first round of firepower strikes!

Not shooting with muskets, but throwing grenades!

Because you don't have to think about it, there must be a large number of Ming troops climbing and competing for the top of the ruins on the inside of the ruins!

When they approached the top of the ruins, they were the first to see the figure of the Ming army appearing above. Immediately, the leading grenadier officer immediately ordered the bombing!

At this critical moment, not a second can be wasted. The Ming army must be suppressed as soon as possible. Even musket shooting will not work. Grenades are the best choice!

After that, in the next instant, the grenade of dozens of meters was thrown up!

The grenade was thrown out, and the explosions sounded one after another, but because they were below, the sight was blocked, and they did not know how effective the grenade was.

But from the time they also saw a small black spot on the opposite side, they knew that the first wave of grenades was not very effective. This kind of battle against the ruins, because the gravel on the ruins of the city wall is relatively large, the enemy is very easy. Hide behind ruined rocks to defend against grenades.

Otherwise, the Ming army would not throw grenades to fight back.

Watching the grenade flying over, these grenadiers were using the ruins to hide one by one, and the officers were still shouting loudly: "Drop the bomb, drop the bomb!"

Some of the rubble on the ruins of the city wall are very huge, and they are natural defensive barriers. The previous Ming army could use these rubble to reduce casualties, and they naturally could.

The battle between the two sides did not break out first in hand-to-hand combat, nor did it break out with musket fire, because at this time, although their straight-line distance was only seven or eight meters, the top of the ruins was in the middle. At most, the figure of the other party is occasionally seen, and the main attack still needs to rely on the grenade that can be thrown in a curve!

Both sides were throwing grenades, and the dense explosions continued to sound, and the grenadier troops at the forefront inevitably suffered certain casualties!

However, the captain of the Grenadier team who led the team was still waving the command knife in his hand: "Drop bombs, shoot for cover in the back row, and assault in the front row!"

When speaking, the grenadier captain slumped forward and quickly climbed forward using the blockage of the gravel!

The other grenadiers also stepped forward alternately among the ruins. It was only a few meters away, but they were extremely careful!

Because the enemy is not far away!

When the grenadiers used grenades and shooting to charge forward, the heavily armored sword and shield soldiers at the rear continued to move forward with firm steps!

Although the grenadiers in front were very lively, everyone knew that in this kind of battle, these heavy armored sword and shield soldiers were the backbone!

These heavily armored sword and shield soldiers are the strongest soldiers in the assault battalion. The whole body plate armor covers them from head to toe, and even their faces are covered by masks. Only two eyes are exposed!

A few seconds later, the grenadiers in front basically suppressed the firepower of the Ming army in front by throwing intensive grenades, but at this time, the grenades they carried were basically finished throwing.

At this time, a large number of heavy armored infantry crossed the grenadiers and really climbed to the top of the ruins!

As the supervising and trapping camp that completely copied the Datang Assault Battalion, their tactics are exactly the same. After the musketeers in front threw grenades, they also sent their heavy armored infantry up!

It didn't take long for the tin cans to appear on the top of the ruins!

However, although both sides are wearing iron armor, they are very recognizable!

Because the heavy armored infantry of the Datang Assault Battalion are all full-body armor, and the plate armor is made of steel forging, and it will also be polished, so it looks very smooth and smooth, even in strong sunlight. Reflective.

The Ming army's heavy-armored infantry on the opposite side wore iron armor on the outside, which was naturally not as bright as the plate armor of the heavy-armored infantry of the Datang Assault Battalion!

Therefore, it is easy to identify them. Those shiny iron cans must be the soldiers of the Datang assault battalion, while the dim ones with many scales on their armor must be the soldiers of the Ming army!

After these iron cans appeared on the top of the ruins, the Ming army heavy-armored infantry on the opposite found that many of their opponents did not hold a waist knife at all, and in addition to a shield, they only held a small musket.

What are these things?

Before they had time to wonder, they just saw the counterfeit Tang bandit army raise the small muskets in their hands, but they didn't see any lit arquebuses, and they could see them firing directly.

After the white smoke rose, I saw that these fake Tang thieves threw away these pistols, pulled out the steel waist knife from their waists and rushed up!

However, the soldiers of the Ming army found that there was no hand-to-hand combat, and more than 20 of their comrades had already fallen.

Don’t think that twenty or so are few. You must know that although this battle is very important, the number of troops invested by both sides at the same time is only a few hundred, and apart from grenadiers, musketeers and the like, Less than half of the heavy armoured infantry.

The space at the top of the ruins is limited, and the movements are first and then the number of heavy armored infantry coming up from the Ming army is only 70 or 80, and the Tang army has a scale of 100.

But now, the Ming army has lost more than 20 people all of a sudden. This result is almost disastrous for the next battle!

Too late to think about it, too late to consider, the heavy armored infantry on both sides just collided with each other!

Everyone is a tin can, and ordinary slashing is useless at all, because it cannot break the armor at all!

The plate armor of the Datang Army can even defend against muskets to a certain extent, not to mention ordinary hacking.

The Ming army's iron armor and cotton iron armor are combined with each other, and their protection is not low. Ordinary slashing basically cannot cause effective damage to them.

Therefore, these tin cans seem to be clumsy when they fight, and the range of movements is very small. There is no so-called wide-open chop, but when they make a shot, it is often a fatal knife!

Because when they shot, they often aimed at the weak points of the enemy's armor protection, including the joints of various parts of the armor, mainly stabbing, and cutting, mainly targeting the head.

Needless to say, stabbing is basically fatal!

As for slashing, the more important thing is to directly hit the enemy's head with a huge impact force. The helmet can protect the head from being cut, but it cannot protect the head from vibration!

Therefore, the battles of these heavy armored infantry are often direct shield blocking, mainly to protect some of their weak points. As for other positions, they are completely exposed and do not care at all. Sometimes, these heavy armored infantry will still Take advantage of the terrain and size to directly push the enemy to the ground.
