Seven Seven Three Assassination

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The scouts of the Hou Jin Army were quite powerful. After expanding the search area, they finally found the hiding place of the attackers - it was indeed the work of standard short-haired greenskins: a trench was dug on the ground,  There are some scattered potholes around, and the excavated mounds of soil also serve as shelters.  The surrounding areas of trenches and pits were covered with branches and weeds. Unless you were very close, you wouldn't notice them at all.

    Even the scouts sent out by Huang Taiji ignored them for a time. If other clues hadn't pointed here, the scouts had to search carefully again, and they might not have been able to discover these fortifications.

    However, what is even more frightening is the location of these trenches and pits and the distance from the war dead

    "Three hundred steps! Now they can shoot us from three hundred steps away?"

    Huang Taiji's son Hauge also came with his father. This man was simple-minded and rough-tempered, but he finally realized this after Huang Taiji ordered the scouts to measure the farthest distance between the dead people on the ground and the trench.  : The green-skinned short-haired weapons seem to be more powerful than before.

    According to Hou Jin’s previous experience in exchange for the lives of many warriors in the Battle of Liaodong: short-haired fire blunderbuss usually starts to show its power at about 150 steps, and the range of 100 steps is the most terrifying.  This is an almost despairing figure for the Hou Jin Army. You must know that even the strongest archer can only have a lethal range of thirty to fifty steps. If he is riding a bow, it will be even more  close.

    Any army fighting against the greenskins can only fill this distance with dead people. Although the Houjin warriors are not afraid of death, they are still unable to accept this method of death.  That's why Huang Taiji racked his brains to use the speed of the cavalry to cross this fatal distance as quickly as possible on the Great Plains, and also deceived a large number of Mongolians to come ahead.

    However, his various plans seemed like a joke in front of those greenskins - they silently extended this "death distance" by twice as long!  This is simply cheating!

    With Huang Taiji's perspective, he can naturally judge that the distance has doubled, and the casualties the attacker has to pay are far more than doubled!  You may not be able to carry it three to five times, and you may even never be able to get through it - you can see it from the corpses in front of you.

    From the bullet holes and scars on the corpses, Huang Taiji could easily deduce the battle situation at that time - this group of people was passing by here and suddenly suffered shooting from a very far distance. In fact, they were quite courageous and immediately turned around.  Charged in the direction of the attacker.

    However, this courage was soon completely shattered - from the corpses lying dead on the ground, with bullets entering the wound on the front of the body, it can be seen how horrific a blow they suffered at that time.  Not long after they had just crossed the halfway point, the morale of this team completely collapsed - even the corpses closest to those pits were a hundred steps away!

    After that, these people began to run away, whipping their mounts wildly, hoping to escape by relying on speed.  However, the opponent was obviously well prepared - the ambusher also had a horse!

    The experienced scouts found horse hoof prints on the ground that were completely different from those of Hou Jin and Mongolian cavalry. The patterns left in the hoof prints showed that the horseshoes used by those mounts were quite exquisite.  And judging from its stride and gait, the ambusher behaved very calmly. He did not rush to chase, but always followed at a speed that was almost jogging, driving the person he was being chased from all directions, as if  A hungry wolf hunting sheep on the grassland.

    They really don’t need to worry. The range advantage of 300 steps is enough for them to harvest human lives from an absolutely safe distance.  As a result, many bodies of people and horses were left over a distance of several miles, almost all of them shot in the back.  Only a very few people had wounds in the front, and they must have been unable to help but turn around and fight, but the outcome was no different.

    The ambusher always keeps following the target, waiting for the opponent to gradually exhaust the physical strength of himself and his mount in the desperate running, and then shoots them one by one.  There is no kindness or mercy until everyone is killed - Huang Taiji also saw many corpses curled up on the ground in a kneeling posture on this out-and-out "road of death", presumably kneeling  Begging for mercy.  But their fate is the same as those who escape and those who fight back.  The only difference is: the bullet holes that shot them were in their heads, basically killing them with one shot.

    In the end, the ambushers cleared the battlefield and stabbed all the wounded to death with their unique weird spearheads - Huang Taiji saw triangular wounds on some of the dead people.  He had seen similar-shaped wounds when he was in Liaodong, and he saw them on corpses after hand-to-hand combat with the Short-haired Army.  This kind of wound is difficult to bandage, but compared to the opponent's blunderbuss and artillery, it is already a less foul weapon.

    The entire battle situation was roughly restored in his mind, and the expression on Huang Taiji's face became increasingly gloomy.  At this time, his son Hauge also came over cursing.——Haug is trying to learn from his father's style. He has just personally inspected the ambush positions dug by the ambushers, so he also noticed that even the nearest dead man or horse was still a hundred steps away from the trench.  .

    It’s just that Hauge’s thoughts were completely different from Huang Taiji’s.

    “They didn’t even force out the opponent’s Sky-shaking Thunder, they are really a bunch of losers!”

    The Jin Army now knows that the greenskins will throw a wave of thunder when they are approached. That thing is very scary, but as long as they survive it, they can rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat.  Although the green skin's hand-to-hand combat ability is actually not bad, and the triangular cone short spear has amazing lethality, in this regard, the Houjin warriors still remain confident.

    So Hauge still feels that as long as he marches forward bravely and rushes in front of the opponent, he can defeat those greenskins.  And the dead people here could have done this - they only had to rush a hundred steps forward.  Even if half of them die, the remaining half is enough to kill them all.

    Why do you think so - because judging from those pits, the number of ambushers is actually not many, only one or two hundred at most. In a face-to-face battle, they will definitely not be the opponents of the Daikin Warriors.  However, those people escaped halfway and were chased for several miles in vain. Everyone died, but they did not cause any harm to others.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Hearing Hauge’s angry scolding, Huang Taiji shook his head slightly at this seemingly brave son.  He didn't think anyone else could do it better. In fact, if he suddenly encountered this situation, his reaction might not be much better.

    Raising his head, he was about to teach his son a few words when he suddenly saw a pro-military general running towards him, holding a shiny object high in his hand:

    "Great Khan, my people dug this on the ground!"

    The general was reckless and trotted over very fast, just in front of Huang Taiji.  At this moment, a loud bang was suddenly heard from far away. Immediately afterwards, the general's body suddenly rushed forward, half of his body exploded, and blood splashed everywhere like a fountain.

    The general screamed loudly, but the scream only lasted for a short time and quickly weakened - half of his shoulder and an arm were gone, and the large amount of blood pouring out from the wound took away his physical strength and heat. After a while,  His body could only twitch slightly on the ground, turning into a corpse almost at a visible speed.

    Even though Huang Taiji was an unparalleled hero, he couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.  But a guard next to him reacted very quickly. While shouting "Be careful, Khan," he swooped over and pushed him away.  This push was just in time, because the second roar sounded at this time, and Huang Taiji was pushed away, but the loyal guard suffered for him - a big hole suddenly opened in his chest and abdomen, and his whole body  He was beaten into two pieces and died without even making a sound.

    Huang Taiji was a fat man, and he was pushed hard without warning. After staggering a few steps, he fell to the ground. However, this fall saved his life again - with the third bang, the ground beside him rose up.  A puff of dust and splashed gravel scratched several small wounds on his face.  A deep pit the size of a bowl on the ground proved the power of this blow. If he hadn't fallen down by chance, this blow would have hit him.

    It was not until the third loud noise that everyone in the field finally reacted.  The pro-military guards screamed and rushed over to protect their master, while several other rather brave generals roared and jumped on their horses, drew their swords, and looked around with red eyes, trying to find those despicable assassins hiding in the dark.  .

    However, this kind of bravery brought them disaster - only more roars and explosions were heard at the same time, and this time everyone could see where the attack was coming - it turned out to be five or six seconds later.  A hillside a hundred steps away!  Several fires lit up from the hillside, and then these brave generals fell off their horses.  Some people had big holes in their bodies, while others were punctured along with their horses. Even the three or four people who jumped on the horses were not spared!

    These people are all wearing heavy armor, but it is of no use.  Regardless of whether it was leather or iron, they were all torn and shattered at the wounds on the body, just like pieces of cloth and paper.  Seeing this terrifying lethality, all the Hou Jin officers and soldiers were shocked. Now they knew what happened to the previous dead with incomplete bodies - they were not shot by artillery, but died from some kind of over-range shooting.  The fire gun is so far away that you can't even see it!

    Everyone was frightened, only Hauge jumped out, brandished his knife and shouted:

    “Don’t be afraid, there aren’t many of them, just rush up and kill them all!”

    This big Belle of Huang Taiji still had some courage. He waved his hands to dozens of his bodyguards and jumped on his horse.He was about to rush that way again, but just after he had taken a dozen or so steps forward, four or five more were shot down, all of them killed in one blow.

    Now no one dared to charge. Even Hauge himself, who was shouting for a fight, was pulled off his horse by his bodyguards and pulled under the horse's belly to hide.  Although Hauge was cursing loudly, his movements were very coordinated. His head was close to the ground and he didn't even dare to raise his head.
