Chapter 986: Counterattack
"That's right, distribute the machine guns and beat these sons of bitches hard. Read" Bai Shang looked at the Beidi trench in front.
The Beidi people are still using cavalry and infantry to try to break through their defenses.
But the more Beidi does this, the more hysterical they are.
Now all they need to do is give Beidi a blow to make them completely lose hope.
After that, the Beidi army will collapse completely.
After all, the Lancers have already copied Beidi's supply lines.
Calling the machine gun team, Bai Shang handed over 30 machine guns to the machine gunners and assigned them to the vanguard troops that were about to attack.
After reminding them to use the machine guns carefully again, he finally issued the order to counterattack.
At this time, the sun had just climbed to the top of the willows, and it was still a long time before dark.
For him, this period of time was enough for them to defeat the Beidi people.
Because the Xuanwu Army in the middle has been replenished to Lingwu County.
At present, there are about 200,000 Dasong soldiers gathered here.
"Toot, toot, toot, toot..." Bai Shang's order was issued, and a clear trumpet sound suddenly rang out in the trench.
This is a small detail of the military reform during this period.
In the past, the charge on the battlefield was to beat the war drum.
But carrying a war drum was too troublesome after all, so during the reform, King Yan ordered the training of some trumpeters and taught them to play trumpet songs.
Some of these trumpet songs were wake-up calls, some were sleep calls, and one was a charge call.
The clear and loud trumpet sound could be heard for a long distance on the battlefield.
In an instant, the Central Army soldiers in the front trench climbed out of the trench and charged towards the Beidi trench.
Other trench soldiers followed, and the soldiers advanced forward wave after wave like a tide.
Before the soldiers charged, the machine gunners found their respective shooting points.
These shooting points were all high, and the shooting routes would not be blocked by the charging soldiers.
When the Dasong soldiers charged, the Beidi soldiers in the trenches immediately aimed their muskets at the charging soldiers.
Among these muskets, there were flintlocks and rifled guns.
However, before they could pull the trigger, they were shot by machine guns.
On the city wall, eight machine guns were distributed from east to west.
The machine gunner aimed at the Beidi soldiers in the trench and pulled the trigger, and bullets flew out from the muzzle one after another, stretching continuously.
As the muzzle moved, the bullets raised a string of flying dust in front of the Beidi trench, and seven or eight Beidi soldiers who were exposed were immediately hit and fell in a pool of blood.
Eight machine guns fired together, bullets rained down, and the Beidi soldiers in the trench were suppressed and could not raise their heads at all.
The cavalry rushing from the middle road of the trench was taken care of by a machine gun.
The machine gunner fired fiercely at the cavalry on the road, and one by one the Beidi cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
Under the cover of machine gun firepower and Qin-style rifle firepower, the Dasong soldiers successfully rushed into the Beidi trench.
After jumping into the trench, they fought with the remaining Beidi soldiers.
At the same time, some soldiers controlled the corridor and used grenades to kill the Beidi soldiers who were coming to support.
The Beidi soldiers whose roads were blocked tried to climb up the trenches, jump down from them, and recapture the first row of trenches.
But they were strafed by machine guns as soon as they climbed up the trenches, and died one by one on the ground.
"Da Da Da..."
The remaining 22 machine guns followed the charging soldiers to the flank of the battlefield, firing bullets madly at the Beidi soldiers in the trenches.
The Beidi soldiers in the trenches were cleared by machine guns.
When the Dasong soldiers launched the charge, the artillery fired at the area ten miles away.
They were blocking the reinforcements of the Beidi camp.
At this moment, the Beidi camp was in chaos because of the sudden counterattack by the Dasong army.
Mule Hongzhen, Ulanba, Negov and others immediately came to the front of the camp.
Raising the telescope to observe, the three of them looked solemn.
In just a short time, the first row of trenches in Beidi was taken down.
Now the Dasong soldiers are taking the second and third trenches.
The soldiers in the tent were hindered from entering the trenches by the enemy's artillery fire, which made it even more difficult for the Beidi soldiers in the trenches to hold on and constantly lost their positions.
"What's going on? Why did they launch a counterattack today?" Mule Hongzhen was surprised and doubtful.
Negov's eyes were sharper than Mule Hongzhen's. He immediately noticed the Dasong soldiers on the flank of the trench.
These soldiers were guarding a musket he had never seen before.
What shocked him was that the firing speed of this musket was beyond his imagination.
If he returned to the Russian country and described this weapon to others, the other party would definitely call him a psychopath.
"They obviously have new muskets." Negov pointed to the flank, "Now our flank is very dangerous. The soldiers in the trench are simply unable to resist that strange musket. We must support it. Now, you send out cavalry, and I will send out infantry. We must stop them."
Mule Hongzhen also found a different situation from before in the direction pointed by Negov.
The Beidi soldiers were not stupid. Facing the attack from the flank, the generals led the soldiers to rush forward.
But they fell faster than they charged.
The bodies piled up layer by layer on the trench, but the soldiers seemed to have an invisible wall in front of them and could not break through.
"Okay!" Mulehongzhen answered very straightforwardly.
It was the first time that Negov took the initiative to request to send Russian soldiers to fight in the war, so he naturally had to accompany them.
Besides, he had no choice.
If the Northern Di won this time, it would be fine.
If they were frustrated again, they would need the support of the Russian Empire even more.
At this time, Negov was not in the mood to care about what Mulehong was really thinking.
All his attention was now focused on the strange muskets of Dasong.
This time, he took the initiative to send troops, not to help the Northern Di people solve the crisis on the flank, but for his own selfish reasons.
He wanted to take the opportunity to seize one of those strange muskets.
Just like their soldiers took advantage of the battle of Yizhou and seized several muskets loaded from the breech on the battlefield.
"Bring one back to me at any cost." Negov emphasized to his adjutant.
The adjutant nodded and turned away.
Not long after, 20,000 cavalry rushed out of the tent, split into two groups, and went to the left and right wings of the Dasong army.
The Russian infantry followed closely behind the cavalry and killed on both wings.
However, as soon as they entered the ten-mile bombardment range, they were bombarded.
The Dasong artillerymen had been watching the battlefield and naturally noticed their actions.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the Beidi cavalry and the Russian infantry did not retreat, but continued to march forward on the snow, leaving corpses along the way.
But when they were only one mile away from the Dasong soldiers on the flank, both wings had lost thousands of people.
