Chapter 491: Inside and Outside the Wall

The people in the front team are dead. No matter how unrestrained the situation is, no matter how hard they are, they are ready to die. When encountering such a scene, everyone's steps can't help but slow down.

The pace is slow, but the momentum of the entire team rushing forward does not stop at all. If you don’t move, naturally there will be people behind pushing you forward. If people behind don’t push you, then you will be waiting to be killed by people behind.

Many front soldiers and cannon fodders of the Ming army ran to the edge of the trench. Before they could adjust their physical balance, they were pushed down by the people behind. When they fell down, they fell directly into the loose soil below. If they had good control of the body balance, they could fall down and then ran forward.

If you fall directly, you will be trampled to death by the person jumping from behind. No one can get up. The fate of the Ming soldiers who rushed forward is no better than this. A few steps forward, the archers behind the short wall recover a little and shoot directly downward.

At such a close distance, there was nothing that could not be shot in the enemy army. After running a few steps, they were shot down and then trampled down by the people behind them.

After the artillery on Shunjun quickly loaded the ammunition, it drove another round. The people in the ditch could not kill, so the Ming army who were about to jump in was only affected.

This distance is almost equal to zero-distance shooting, with great effect. The soldiers on the edge of the trench were directly knocked out with a blank, but there was no hindrance at all.

"The gunner threw the cannon back to the camp!!! The one who took the weapon forward!!!"

General Yuan Zongdi observed the changes in the battlefield at a few dozen steps behind the low wall, and saw that the Ming army soldiers were still jumping down. Although the slow-moving archers would always make the Ming army fall down every round of shooting, the speed of the fall could no longer stop the speed of advance.

After Yuan Zongdi's order was said, the personal soldiers had already conveyed the order loudly. The soldiers of Shun, who had already left the earthen buns and wooden boards and picked up their weapons, began to swarm forward.

The archers had already shot several rounds of arrows. The seven arrows at the beginning were very fast in terms of speed and frequency. After resting, although their physical strength was restored, they could not reach that state. Not only did they slow down, but their companions who were holding spears and other long weapons came forward. It was even more of an interference to them.

As the speed of the archery slowed down, the Ming soldiers who only knew that they were running forward desperately immediately advanced a lot, and some people had already run under the low wall.

There is a natural slope here because of the landfill of scattered soil. When the low wall was filled with scattered soil, it ran to the front and could rush upwards directly. Seeing that the archers' shooting had stopped, Yuan Zongdi shook his head. When he was in Woshui and Kaifeng City during the day, he saw Shandong soldiers, horses, muskets and spearmen cooperated with each other without affecting each other, and had bonuses to each other, but his own team. As soon as the infantry holding long weapons stepped on, the archers' archery immediately slowed down.

"The archer retreats, the spearman is on the top, and the knife and axeman follows and make up for the leak!!"

Yuan Zongdi ordered again. The soldiers of the Shun Army stood up layer by layer according to the assignment. As soon as the archers stopped, the Ming soldiers below lost the long-range weapons in front of them and shouted in unison, speeding up their pace towards the top, but they were hungry, and this was another slope, so their pace would not slow down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of Shun Army who were holding long weapons had already followed, and spears stabbed down one after another. Many people consumed a lot of physical strength while running from there to here. Many people couldn't stop and were directly stabbed by the spear.

The problem now is that when you fall to the ground, no matter how serious the injury is, you will be stepped on there and unable to get up. When the spearmen and archers of the Shun Army were handing over the ground in front, there was still a gap in some positions. As long as the person in the short wall was held, he would just go over.

The Shun Army on the side of the low wall is naturally crowded with people. Even such a fish that escaped the net immediately rushed forward and killed him.

Just now, no matter whether it was a bow or an arrow or a firearm, it could not stop the Ming army. The Ming army rushed to the low wall. How powerful the long-range weapons were, there would always be fish that missed the net, and everyone was also lucky.

But when approaching the low wall, this was actually a disguised siege battle. The Ming army holding long and short weapons were fighting face to face before and behind the low wall.

The fighting in this way could not tolerate anything lucky. When the Ming army rushed here, its speed finally stood up. The screams of constant screams stopped immediately, and the ones that replaced them were shocking shouts of killing.

Don’t underestimate the slope and the low wall. For the hungry Ming army, this obstacle is already very difficult. Climbing upwards will make the movements much slower. However, the soldiers of Shunjun behind the low wall are full and are waiting here to accumulate energy. Moreover, the movements are simple, and the spear is directly placed flat and poked down.

No matter if he hit the poke or not, some of them ran up flexibly behind them. When they arrived at the low wall, they also flipped over. But behind the spearmen, there were soldiers holding swords and axes waiting.

Face-to-face fighting is also the easiest to cause morale to collapse. Seeing the people in front of you constantly fall to the ground, the people behind you are also coming forward.

Mingjun, who was full of death, couldn't stand it anymore. He just went forward to die, without a trace of life. What's the point of fighting like this?

Originally, the army of Yulin General Bai Guangen and Shaanxi General He Renlong were moving from backwards toward each other, and the more back the team, the stronger the soldiers were. At the beginning, the rushing forward was quite smooth, but at this time it gradually stopped, and the army of tens of thousands of people was crowded on a front of about 500 steps.

On both sides of the landfill trench, there were long deep trenches that were not filled. Many Ming soldiers could not stand the push and were directly pushed into the deep trench by their companions.

This height can already hurt people. Many people fall to death when they fall. Unconsciously, a large number of soldiers are blocked on the front line of about 500 steps. Each time they can invest so much force. If one group goes up, one group can only fall down in the opponent's assassination.

This has become a bottleneck. He Renlong and Bai Guangen's personal military generals ran back and forth in front and back teams and informed the main generals of the situation, and the blockage in front was naturally passed to the back.

"The whole army moves forward, the whole army moves forward, and misses the military opportunity. He is afraid of the military law that is invincible and will not forgive his death penalty!!"

Bai Guangen shouted this without any hesitation. He Renlong was indeed a little sensible, and then said loudly:

"Mr. Hou, the Supervisor, has already asked the Emperor's Sword to urge the army to move forward. If anyone hesitates and dares not fight, it is immediately a great order for the military law. If you dare to resist the order and do not obey it, I am the first to refuse to agree."

He directly pushed the blame to the supervisor Hou Xun, saying that he was righteous. If the soldiers had a repetition, they could also transfer the conflict. If the words were unpleasant, they would be polite, but actions were the same. Bai Guangen and He Renlong's personal soldiers and generals all began to move forward.

At this time, the sword and gun were not revealed. The horses followed the buttocks of the infantrymen in the back team. If they were slow, the people behind them would attack. But when they heard the order just now, everyone knew that the leader of their family was going to kill people. If they took a step slowly, they would probably have a life-threatening disaster.

As expected, Mr. Qian, a subordinate of He Renlong, has been half hungry and half full these days, but unfortunately he was cold and slowed down. The people behind him urged him, but he said a few words, thinking that he was also a military general of the grade and a confidant of the Grand Marshal. Why should he be scolded by you?

Who would have thought that this was a disaster. He was caught by several personal soldiers. After reporting He Renlong, he cut his head directly.

Then a cavalry took his head with his spear and walked around the front and back teams, killing this one, which was equivalent to opening up and cutting more than a dozen heads in a row.

Seeing this bloody head, the infantry soldier, who was a little lazy and weak, suddenly felt awe-inspiring and began to move forward. The front team was fighting desperately. The back team became a little calmer, and felt that there was no need to tear the face and supervise the battle with the brothers in front of him. But when this Qianmao died, everyone was in danger immediately. He immediately flattened the sword and gun in his hand. If he walked slowly in front, he would have to go there all at once.

The entire Ming army seemed to be slamming the shore, driving from behind to forward layer by layer. The Ming soldiers who had just stopped started to move again.

He rushed towards the low wall in front of him like crazy, and on both sides of the trench with more than 500 steps, the Ming army soldiers also began to dig soil to fill the trench.

The bodies in front of the low wall are piled up higher and higher, gradually level with both sides. The barrier effect of the low wall is getting smaller and smaller. The Ming soldiers can rush to the short wall without climbing this process. The Shun soldiers behind the low wall also have to be wary of the Ming army's bows and arrows. Moreover, both sides are now holding spears and poking on a horizontal line. There are also casualties on the Shun army. Every time a fall is falling, the military generals urge people to make up.

At this time, the battle on the north side had just ended. Except for the corpses all over the ground, everything was very quiet, but different from the south side, but there were guests in Gao Jie's camp.

"General Gao, you know how to follow the will of heaven and the people so well. My Duke of the country will definitely praise General Gao's general actions."

Judging from the identity of the man speaking, he was at most a general in the horse army. However, General Gao Jie, the Yansui general, was very humble and stood respectfully opposite him. Gao Jie said with a loyal and righteous face.

"Please rest assured. As long as I, Gao Jie, are here, I will not let the troops and bandits led by Mr. Hou take a step forward!!"

Gao Jie also had a group of guerrilla generals who were following him, and his attitude was generally respectful. It was impossible to see that an hour ago, he had killed and injured thousands of people under the killing of Shandong soldiers.
