Chapter 318
The soldiers of the Mughal Empire were all relieved to hear what Wade said.
This stable victory in the war seems to be assured.
What's more, under Lord Wade, there are so many firearms that will definitely be able to kill the Ming army to assist the soldiers on their backs.
Bazaar looked envious and looked at the soldiers beside him.
Except for a hundred guards with decent weapons and armor, the others are no different from Hanako.
These soldiers, called Hanako, looked enviously at the five thousand soldiers under Lord Wade at the front.
The first thousand people each had a shield and a machete.
After a day of marching, they were finally about to start climbing the mountain.
The first mountain is a mountain in the Himala near the Mughal Empire.
Here are two mountains with a pass in the middle.
Here at the pass, two thousand Heshuo special auxiliary troops were stationed.
They saw the Mughal soldiers from a distance.
"Hurry up, light the wolf smoke that His Majesty the Emperor Daming prepared for us!"
Billowing smoke rose one after another beacon.
Soon, the capital of Heshuo, Chongzhen received information from the border of the Mughal Empire.
"Mother, these guys, come so fast!"
"They have appeared in the foothills of the Himalayas."
"It is estimated that we will have to encounter the Heshuo Special Assistance Army arranged by our border."
"Shi Kefa, you are the governor of the Qinghai-Tibet Theater! Qin Liangyu, from your Daming National Salvation Army, select a 100-guard force and temporarily lend it to Shi Kefa. "
Shi Kefa immediately hugged his fist to Chongzhen, and at the same time to Qin Liangyu.
"Your Majesty, Na Weixian brought five soldiers and horses to support the past!"
"Yes, it is estimated that it will take ten days, the distance here looks close, but it needs to go over the mountains and the altitude is very high, you should be careful!"
"The supplies will be prepared for you and transported by horses."
"It is best to take some ancient roads, the ancient roads are all local people often go to other places to buy goods with horse teams, one guard five thousand people, and you will be equipped with two thousand war horses to carry supplies."
Shi Kefa was very excited and kept thanking him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you to Old General Qin for lending me the National Salvation Army. "
Shi Kefa mounted his war horse and led 5,000 National Salvation Troops along the ancient roads, which were often walked by peddlers' pawns and horse teams.
Often encountered very narrow places and very steep places, people have to come down and drag the horse up.
On September 25, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the soldiers and horses of the Mughal Empire launched an attack on the Qinghai-Tibet theater of the Daming Empire.
Lord Wad, with his own soldiers and firearms, took them to attack first.
There are five remaining lords, with soldiers to fight with Lord Wade's soldiers and horses.
"Firehammer ready, arquebusier ready, archer ready."
Wade's soldiers fired a volley at the Heshuot assistants guarding the pass.
Guarding the pass were the Heshuo Assist Army, not equipped with long-range weapons.
They had to pick up a lot of rubble and pile it on the low wall of the pass.
The low wall is not high, it is only three meters high.
The serfs tried, they threw stones from top to bottom, the enemy needed to climb the mountain and attack, and the assistant only had to keep rolling the stones down the mountain.
Sixty paces away, Wade's musketeers opened fire, because only this distance could ensure that the assistants could be hit, and that the fire bolts and arquebuses could exert their own firepower.
The archer, with his wrench, began to shoot arrows non-stop.
The assistant army did not panic at all, they knew that this untouchable man was fifteen yuan a day, and the assistant army was thirty yuan a day.
There are big coins, and the morale of these assistants is very high.
The key is that if you don't kill a single enemy, you can still have a reward of twenty yuan Daming coins.
They kept rolling stones down the hill.
Some are unlucky and are directly hit by rubble.
The soldier who was hit, was quickly carried down.
Most of them were hit, and they did not die immediately, most of them were smashed to the ground. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
Lord Wade was very calm, and the musketeers fired continuously, and had already killed hundreds of auxiliaries.
"Bazaar with your soldiers, climb the mountain from the flank and storm the pass!"
"Cover my musketeers and shoot accurately at the enemy!"
Bazaar's eyes were firm: "Soldiers, come with me!" "
"Victory will surely belong to the Mughal Empire, and glory will be with you!" , Bazaar himself with the soldiers, climbed along the steep hillside.
This Himalayan mountain range, endless mountains.
(cedi) This climbing a mountain is really laborious.
Many soldiers of the Mughal Empire, they were exhausted and breathless.
Especially if you run a little faster, you can't breathe.
Bazaar knew that as the poorest lord, he had to fight bravely so that the other lords would provide him with some silver rupees.
The soldiers of the bazaar, all wooden spears, they pressed against the ground one by one, carefully climbing towards the mountain pass.
These Mughal soldiers were very rigid in tactics, and only wanted to break through the pass guarded by the auxiliary army from the front.
These Heshuot assistants are the same, as if their brains will not turn, they only guard the pass, and do not care about the left and right wings, what if the enemy bypasses the pass between the two mountains from the left and right flanks and outflanks the pass?
Lord Wade, looking at the falling stones that kept rolling out of the pass, the whole person's scalp was numb.
"Only by entering through the pass can we reach the capital of the Heshuot Khanate as quickly as possible, so we can't take a detour and reopen the road, right?"
The other lords all frowned: "Lord Wade, or pull up the two jack Fran machines you bought!" "
Lord Wade thought for a moment, and a cannonball was bought for ten rupee silver coins.
In total, he purchased a thousand shells, which should be enough.
"Yes, too! Then let the Heshuo Special Assist Army in Guan Pass try our artillery. "
Boom~~
The two Fran machines roared, and solid bullets landed on the low wall of the pass.
The Heshuot auxiliary army was composed of all serfs, who usually farmed land for the nobles, and when they returned home, they were sent to the cattle pen.
They had never seen artillery at all, and when they heard artillery like thunder, they were frightened and scrambled around.
"General, it's not good! The soldiers of the Mughal Empire had heavenly thunder. "
Of the two thousand auxiliary troops, only one small banner of the Daming National Salvation Army was supervising them.
Looking at the rioting auxiliary army, the little flag chief stood up.
"Give me all to my position!"
"That's the enemy's artillery, the interpreter tell them quickly!"
The interpreter immediately explained on the side, and the assistant soldiers calmed down a little.
The commander of the small flag frowned, and personally carried a small flag of the Daming National Salvation Army with a flintlock gun and came to the low wall of the pass.
"Reload ammo!"
These assistants all looked at the Ming army, and the Ming soldiers loaded gunpowder into the barrel of the gun from the barrel they carried, and the door medicine from behind the flintlock gun, which was called gunpowder.
Immediately after these steps are completed, a solid projectile is loaded from the barrel, and the ammunition is compacted with a stick.
After the ammunition was loaded, the soldiers' flintlock guns only needed to pull the trigger to directly hit the flint to ignite the ignition powder and fire the projectile.
The arquebus needs to blow the arquebus ash clean, then clamp the arquebus inside the gantry, and then pull the trigger to ignite the arquebus to ignite the ignition of the ignition powder.
