Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Chapter 274 Details determine success or failure

Zhang Xianzhong didn't know that Qin Liangyu, Lan Fang, and Gu Junming teamed up to dig a big hole for him. He watched his soldiers attack the city several times. At this moment, the city was broken, but the brave and tenacious white pole soldiers once again He was defeated several times and failed. He was so grumpy that he screamed angrily and ordered the siege to continue.

It is understandable how difficult it is to storm a fortified city like Chengdu with thick walls and steep terrain. In addition, the city has ample weapons, equipment and food, and the defenders are white-collar troops known for their bravery and tenacity. It is normal to pay a certain amount of casualties. .

Zhang Xianzhong and other counselors and generals all felt that to break the strong city of Chengdu, the price of twenty or thirty thousand men was not too much. The key was that they had a large number of troops and could afford such a price.

Precisely because of this idea, the casualties of soldiers are just a number in their eyes, and no one notices some small details or small anomalies in the casualties.

When Lan Fang led the Guangxi Wolf Barracks and the Second Royal Regiment to leave Chengdu at night, he left five groups of snipers for Qin Liangyu, and also gave special instructions that these snipers were the emperor's darlings and they must be protected. .

Qin Liangyu remembered Lan Fang's instructions and selected ten alert guards from his personal guard team, working in pairs to protect the safety of five groups of snipers.

When she led the army to retake those small counties, she had already seen the power of snipers. In addition, Lan Fang explained a lot of sniper functions and special tactics to her, so she knew a little bit about them. Snipers are a special type of arms and they need to be trained. Not easy, can only be used specially.

As long as the five groups of snipers do not go out of the city to take risks, they can do whatever they want in the city. These are the various conveniences and privileges Qin Liangyu gives to the five groups of snipers.

Five sniper teams, a total of ten snipers, are now scattered throughout the city. They hide behind the walls, aim at the target and use cold shots. They either shoot the head or hit the vital part of the chest, killing them on the spot.

There are also those who are extremely lucky. The bullet missed a little bit and missed the vital point, but was still injured. With today's medical technology, it depends on whether there is any infection after the operation. receive.

Hundreds of Zhang Xianzhong's cannons have been destroyed by the artillery of the Sichuan Army Camp, and hundreds of gunners have also been killed. The threat to the snipers and the soldiers defending the city is the lead bullets and arrows of the muskets.

The muskets equipped by the rebels were all seized from defeated officers and soldiers. Their quality varied and their chambers often exploded. The musketeers of the rebels were equally fearful and often used their muskets as fire sticks. In addition, the effective range was not far, and lead bullets were used. The threat is basically negligible.

The real and only threat is bows and arrows. The rebel army has formed a large number of archers. Their archery skills are not very good, but they are superior in number. When the arrow rain covers a certain area, the lethality is still quite terrifying.

The auxiliary soldiers assigned to the sniper team and the personal guards sent by Qin Liangyu to protect them all carried a large shield to help the sniper block the sudden and dense rain of arrows at any time.

Ten snipers hid behind the walls, observing the battlefield through high-powered binoculars, searching for high-value targets such as officers among the densely packed rebel groups, then locked on the crosshairs and shot them calmly and calmly.

After firing, the sniper quickly retracted behind the wall, removed the cartridge case, reloaded the bullet, and then carefully took out the DM1 sniper rifle from behind another wall to continue searching for new high-value targets.

Snipers will occasionally shoot low-value but threatening targets to help reduce pressure on friendly forces or eliminate threats.

In less than an hour, more than 200 rebel leaders were killed by ten sniper rifles. However, the entire battlefield was in chaos, with roars of killing and gunshots like firecrackers. The rebels who were desperately attacking the city did not notice at all. Abnormal, after all, there were too many dead people. The corpses of his companions were everywhere under the city, and the flowing blood dyed the mud red.

There was another detail of the battle that the rebels did not discover at all, and neither did Zhang Xianzhong and his advisers and generals who were commanding the Chinese army.
