"Fire!"
The Mauser 1898 rifles in the soldiers 'hands also began to fire.
Although they were all new recruits, Yuan Baocen had conducted live ammunition shooting training without considering the cost during the previous training, causing these new recruits 'marksmanship to be barely passable.
At least in terms of firing speed, even if it could not reach 15 rounds per minute, it would not be a problem to fire seven to eight rounds or even ten rounds.
Especially when the bandits were attacking together in a chaotic manner. They were very dense and undoubtedly became the best targets.
Hundreds of soldiers were firing their rifles at the bandits on the city wall. After the gunshots, the bandits fell to the ground in groups.
In addition to the heavy machine guns and rapid-fire cannons, the bandits 'offensive momentum was even more sluggish. It was as if they had really hit an invisible wall, and they were badly injured.
"Ah! Ah!"
Miserable screams rang out continuously as bandits were shot and fell to the ground.
Many bandits were hit in the vital parts and lost their lives.
Those who were lucky enough not to be hit in their vital parts lay on the ground and wailed miserably.
However, on the chaotic battlefield, no one could care about them at all.
For a moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have turned into hell. There were broken limbs everywhere, and corpses were piled on the ground.
Bai Lang, Mr Lu, and the leaders of the other bandit forces who were watching the battle from the back had ugly expressions on their faces.
Seeing the bandits being slaughtered by the Northern Army with their powerful firepower, their hearts felt as if they were bleeding!
"Damn it! Didn't they say that the ones who stayed behind in Lushan County were the second-line troops of the government army? But why were they equipped with so many machine guns and cannons? Could this be a trap?”Some bandit leaders said.
"Impossible, the news is absolutely correct. Those who stayed behind were definitely the second line of the government army.”
"Motherf * cker. Wasn't this army too terrifying? If even the second line of troops were equipped with so many machine guns and cannons, how could they continue fighting?”
"Humph! The other party's master was Big Head Yuan's son. Of course, Big Head Yuan would not mistreat his son.”
"That's right! As Mr Lu said, this was a rare opportunity. Wasn't it just a little more casualties? As long as we take down Lushan County and capture Second Young Master Yuan alive, we can ask for more weapons and equipment from Big Head Yuan. With weapons and equipment, would they still be afraid of not being able to pull the team together?”Bai Lang said.
Bai Lang's words made the bandit leaders 'eyes light up.
In China, only those who had guns were the rulers.
As long as there were guns and people everywhere, they could easily form a team.
No matter how many people died in today's battle, as long as they obtained weapons and equipment, they could quickly make up for their losses.
"F * ck. Anyway, I'll go all out today! I don't believe that we can't take down Lushan County with tens of thousands of people!”
"That's right! As long as he captured Second Young Master Yuan alive, he could make up for any losses.”
The bandit leaders were also tempted.
They never cared about the lives of their brothers. As long as they could obtain more benefits, it would not be a pity even if all of them died.
"Don't retreat! Continue attacking!”
"Go! There are only a few government troops in the city. It'll be fine as long as you get through it."
"Not only do we have to attack the west wall, we have to attack the other three walls as well. They launched a siege, causing the government troops in the city to panic!”
The bandits began to fight desperately. They did not hold back and invested almost all of their troops to surround and attack Lushan County from all sides. They wanted to make the Northern Army in the city panic and then create an opportunity for them to break through the city.
Unfortunately, the Northern Army's defense line was extremely strong. They relied on their powerful firepower to continuously kill the bandits outside the city.
Outside Lushan County, there was already a thick pile of corpses.
Almost all of these corpses belonged to bandits.
The casualties of the Beiyang Army were very light and could even be ignored.
However, the consumption of weapons and ammunition was a little high.
However, Yuan Baocen did not care at all. With the construction of the arsenal, he would not have to worry about weapons and ammunition anymore.
"Teacher, it's almost time. The bandits outside the city had already suffered more than ten thousand casualties. Their morale was low, and they were not far from collapse. A few infantry regiments had already arrived at their designated positions.”Jiang Baili reminded.
As one of the top three non-commissioned officers, Jiang Baili's grasp of the opportunity was naturally much better than Yuan Baocen, who was a dabbler.
"Order the Artillery Regiment to blow up the motherf * cker. Within twenty minutes, try your best to shoot out all the shells. Get the cavalry ready to counterattack at any time!”Yuan Baocen ordered.
"Yes, teacher."
A few minutes later, 24 105mm light howitzers and 48 75mm field cannons began firing at the Artillery Regiment.
