Chapter 922 The Great Jin Army Hunter vs. The Tiger Army Sniper

(0922)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

With Yang Zhiyuan's order, the Qinglong Legion began to dig out the tunnel. They chose to dig out the entrance and exit of the tunnel five hundred feet away from Guangning City. Hundreds of people worked together, and at the beginning, the progress was quite fast.

Ajige was also a smart person and soon saw the clues. He had a lot of combat experience. He found that the Hu Ben Army had stopped attacking and could still vaguely hear the strange noises on the land. After sending people to observe day and night, he basically estimated what the Hu Ben Army was going to do.

"Digging tunnels? Ridiculous!"

"Do you think we don't know how to deal with it?"

Azige immediately ordered a large number of wells to be dug in the city.

According to ancient tactics, water wells are the simplest tool to detect tunnels. The water level of the well continues to drop, which means that the enemy tunnel is nearby. At that time, just make a corresponding counterattack against the enemy tunnel. These combat strategies are mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Ajige was deeply impressed.

Hehe, as long as I think of the scene where the authentic tunnel of the Hu Ben Army opened and the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army had just crawled out from inside, and the boiling water was poured down from the top, sharp arrows shot down, and heavy stones were smashed down, Ajige felt excited. The Hu Ben Army didn't seem to be very smart, but he had only come up with such an ancient way.

Ajige even wanted to dig a horizontal tunnel from the city, just cut off all the tunnels of the Hu Ben Army, and then deploy ambushes on both sides. As long as the Hu Ben Army emerged, there would be a burst of swords, guns, swords and halberds. Hehe, with the hand-to-hand combat power of the Hu Ben Army, Ajige had enough confidence to cut them all into pieces. When fighting in close range, who is the opponent of the Great Jin Army?

Maybe after the tunnel of the Hu Ben Army was dug, the Jin army could still use this tunnel to break out of the city and catch the Hu Ben Army off guard! What the Hu Ben Army relied on was the powerful power of the musket. As long as you get close to them and don’t give them the chance to fire muskets, Ajige has enough confidence to kill the Hu Ben Army and throw away his armor.

"Idiot Tiger Army!"

Azig sneered deeply at the sky.

...

"Idiot Tiger Army!"

In the dense forests of Changbai Mountain, someone sneered like this.

This person is Amin. With the three thousand soldiers of the Great Jin Army's vanguard battalion, Amin has been confronting the Hu Ben Army for more than a month in the dense forest of Changbai Mountain. At this moment, he was standing on a mountain, surrounded by more than a dozen officers of the Great Jin Army.

"This group of idiots actually want to play hide-and-seek with us wise hunters! Don't they know that we are all good at dealing with beasts? Even beasts like tigers and black bears are not our opponents, let alone humans? They are so stupid!"

Amin muttered to himself disdainfully.

His eyes crossed the mountains and looked at a mountain opposite. On the hill there were hunters he had carefully deployed. As long as the Hu Ben Army entered here, they would be beautiful. Who is the opponent of the Manchus to hunt in the dense forest?

The roads in Changbai Mountain are quite unblocked. Even if there are constant troops coming and going, they will only step out the path of sheep intestines in the mountains. There are dense forests on both sides, and the large troops cannot be used. It is spring now, and the trees, flowers and plants are lush and lush, so it is best to lurk. Hundreds of Manchu hunters are hidden in the dense forest and cannot be seen outside at all.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot came, followed by a faint white smoke coming out of the woods. Obviously, the people from the Hu Ben Army were firing. This faint white smoke, the fatal injuries of the Hu Ben Army musket could not be covered.

Hearing the gunshot, Amin couldn't help but frowned quietly. Damn, did the Hu Ben Army shoot randomly or purposefully? Did this shot hit the target?

While the Jin army sent hunters to try to intercept the Hu Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army also sent snipers to fight in the mountains and fields to clear out all the Tartar hunters. This is a very special battle, completely different from the battle on the plains.

"Dekka, go and ask Subu how it is!"

Amin said a little worriedly.

"clear!"

A Tartar officer next to Amin hurriedly agreed to go.

"Bang!"

Deca hadn't walked far, another gunshot came.

It seemed like the sound of something falling. If you were not mistaken, someone would have been hit by a musket, then fell from a tree and rolled on the ground. Such speculation made the Jin army present very uncomfortable. Needless to say, the manchu hunters must have been shot by a musket.

"Oh shit!"

Amin cursed in a low voice.

He didn't want the Muskets of the Tiger Army snipers to hit the target. This was not a fun thing. The ones he sent were all very elite hunters, and one less loss was missing. Amin could not withstand too much casualties.

Actually, this is nonsense. The commander of the three thousand striker camps that Huang Taiji allocated to him. Can the people in the striker camp have no ability? Although they were very annoyed by Huang Taiji's imprisonment, they have not completely calmed down until now, but Amin is quite helpful to Huang Taiji who can allocate the striker camps to him.

These good hunters will die one less! Hunters of this level will definitely not be able to cultivate them without more than five years. Especially under the current circumstances, they are very precious. Amin doesn't want them to fall under the guns of the Hu Ben Army like this.

"Bang!"

Not long after, another shrill gunshot came.

I vaguely heard the sound of someone being hit again.

"Oh shit!"

Amin felt his eyebrows start to beating uneasy.

According to his subconscious, this is not a good thing. Why do you always hear the gunshots of the Hu Ben Army but don’t hear any other sounds? Although the sound of archery is not loud, Amin can also hear it after he stretched his ears like this!

Could it be... No, no, the Manchu hunters will definitely not just be beaten and not fight back. How do the Han people in the Hu Ben Army know how to hunt and how to fight in the dense forest? They have long lost their way in this dense forest, right? No! Absolutely no! In such a dense forest, the Hu Ben Army is definitely not the opponent of the Jin army!

However, no matter whether Amin and the people around him were willing to accept it, sporadic gunshots were still coming. These gunshots seemed particularly monotonous and lonely. Sometimes, half an hour passed and there was no sound, which made people feel very uncomfortable. However, sometimes, two consecutive shots were fired, which scared people. No one could touch the rules.

This feeling is indeed very uncomfortable. They cannot see the accurate situation in the dense forest, but can only rely on their imagination. As a result, the scenes they imagined were not what they like. Although they tried hard to make themselves think more optimistic. However, the occasional gunfire made them unhappy.

Since there is a gunshot, it means that the Hu Ben Army is still fighting, it means that the Hu Ben Army has not been annihilated. The Hu Ben Army has not been annihilated, which means that the hunters of the Great Jin Army have not completed their goals. Why have they not completed their goals? There are only two possibilities: the first is that there is not enough time. The second is that they have lost their own goals.

If it is the first possibility, it is a little better. Anyway, the Jin army has time and will continue to fight. If it is the second possibility, it will be troublesome. If it is the second possibility, it will be fine. The Hu Ben Army did not kill him, but instead ruined his good hunters. For the Jin army, which was short of manpower, this would be such a depressing thing!

Amin tried hard to think about the first possibility, but as he thought about it, he couldn't help but jump to the second possibility. There was no way, and his intuition told him that the hunting in the dense forest might be lost.

After a long time, Deka came back. Amin saw that his face was not good. He tried hard to keep his heart from sinking, and at the same time he looked calm and composed, so as not to hurt the morale of the officers around him.

Sure enough, Deka reported listlessly: "The situation on Subu is not very good. Just now, they were shot and killed by the Hu Ben Army, and only three of them were killed. If we continue to fight like this, it will not be a good deal."

Amin said a little unwillingly: "Just kill three?"

Deka nodded helplessly and said bitterly: "The Hu Ben Army is also very cunning. It seems to have received special training and is very familiar with the battle in the jungle. The three of them are in a group and cooperate with each other, making it difficult for us to have the opportunity to start. Their muskets have a long range, and each of them is equipped with a thousand-mile mirror, which can observe our people from a long distance."

"According to Su Bu's reaction, it is always difficult for us to find the figure of the Hu Ben Army in the dense forest, but they can easily find that we are all taking advantage of the Qianli Miles. Our people prefer to climb on trees, but they often become targets of the Hu Ben Army. Even if they can shoot one of the opponent, their position will be exposed immediately. Once the opponent shoots it, our people will be gone. Basically, when we take action, we will have one life for another."

Amin frowned and said, "Where is the trap? Where is the mechanism? Are all useless?"

Deka shook his head and said helplessly: "It's basically cracked. There should be masters on the Hu Ben Army. They are moving forward very slowly and are very cautious about everything around them. To be honest, our traps are all used to deal with wild beasts and people, and there are always some flaws."

His words made Amin feel very unhappy. Amin stared at the mountains and forests east with a long look, and clenched his fists in disappointment. Nineteen people died, and only three of them killed. Such a result made Amin feel very depressed. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. In short, two words were uncomfortable.

In fact, mountain combat is not Amin's specialty. What he is better at is the plain cavalry. However, in the Great Jin Dynasty, there are actually not many people who are good at mountain combat. At least, Amin has conquered North Korea and is quite familiar with the road between Chenyang and North Korea. This is also the reason why Huang Taiji sent him here.

Amin thought that the hunting skills of the Manchus could be used to deal with the Hu Ben Army, allowing the Hu Ben Army to see the Manchus' fighting skills in the dense forests. However, I really didn't expect that this would be the result. Facing these snipers of the Hu Ben Army, Amin was really depressed! When did the Jin army start to defeat the Hu Ben Army on the plains, and even the Hu Ben Army in the deep mountains and forests? It's incredible!

"Um."

Scattered gunshots came again.

As the gunshots come, a messy sound often comes.

Needless to say, Amin also knew that his own people must have fallen out again. Originally, he was planning to use a group of hunters to play hide-and-seek with the Hu Ben Army. He wanted to block the Hu Ben Army's path to continue moving forward and intercept the Hu Ben Army here. However, from the current situation, hide-and-seek seems to have become a massacre, and the situation is serious!

"Idiot Tartar!"

In the dense forest, someone quietly talked to himself.

The person who spoke was Lin Qiwen. Beside him, there were two snipers who were fully focused. When they heard Lin Qiwen's words, they would smile in their hearts. Yes, in such a dense forest, the Tartars were indeed a bit idiot.

These scouts of the Hu Ben Army who were responsible for opening the way were the snipers of the Pinzi Battalion of the Hu Ben Army. The one who was responsible for training them was Lin Qiwen, the deputy commander of the Pinzi Battalion. Speaking of which, Lin Qiwen was also an old sniper of the Hu Ben Army. He was one of the earliest and one of the ten people. However, his sniping level was covered up by Dugu Lie and others, and his reputation was not obvious. Later, he was sent to the army to serve as an officer and immediately shined.

There are actually not many snipers in Pinzi Camp, only a mere fifty. However, in such a terrain, fifty people are enough. In addition, there are exactly twenty sniper teams. They cooperate with each other and slowly grop and move forward. The Tartar archers hiding on both sides of the road were removed in this way.

The hunting experience of the Tartars was almost accumulated in a hazy or semi-hazy state, passed down from generation to generation, without even formal written records, and naturally there was no systematic theoretical knowledge like Zhang Zhun. It can be said that most of the hunters of the Great Jin army knew the truth but did not know why.

What's more, what they usually deal with is wild beasts. Wild beasts do not have much brains, and the smartest chimpanzees only have a little bit of wisdom. However, humans have brains. Using experience in dealing with wild beasts to deal with people is a big problem.

On the contrary, the Hu Ben Army has theoretical knowledge of snipers. Zhang Zhun formed a special sniper team in the early days of the establishment of the Hu Ben Army and worked hard to train snipers. A few years have passed, and the Hu Ben Army has already had a mature set of experience in cultivating snipers and has a very high technical level.

The combination of systematic theoretical knowledge and practice is the reason why the Tiger Ben Army snipers are powerful. They are the most lethal in the battle sequence of the Tiger Ben Army. If it weren't for the fact that the Tiger Ben gun would produce white smoke after it was fired, the position would be exposed, and it would have to be reloaded. Otherwise, a sniper would not need to move his nest and kill a group of Tartars.

Because both sides are fighting in the dense forest, the removal speed is often very slow. In order to avoid excessive casualties, Lin Qiwen and his snipers must also be careful. Because the traps and mechanisms of the Tartars are still relatively powerful. If you are impatient, you will easily fall into the trap of the Tartars.

However, it doesn't matter. The Hu Ben Army has time. From here to Lianshan Pass, it is already very close. As long as you take down Lianshan Pass, you can directly kill Chenyang or Liaoyang. In fact, this is also the reason why the Tartars are so crazy. If the Hu Ben Army conquered Lianshan Pass, they would never have any natural dangers to rely on.

"waste!"

Amin said fiercely.

Amin was quite dissatisfied with Subu's record, very dissatisfied.

But even if he is not satisfied, what can he do? Su Bu is already the best hunter under his command. If someone else is replaced, he may not be better than Su Bu. In fact, even if Amin takes action personally, he cannot do better than Su Bu. Since even Su Bu can't deal with the snipers of the Tiger Ben Army, he has to die.

The Hu Ben Army's muskets are indeed too powerful. This technical gap cannot be made up by the courage of the Jin army. Although Amin was unwilling to admit this, he had to order his subordinates to stay outside the range of the Hu Ben Army's muskets as much as possible. If he stayed within the range, he would most likely be killed.

"Master Beile, should we retreat to Lianshan Pass?"

Someone asked carefully.

"retreat?"

"You talk about retreating!"

Amin stared at his subordinates with a long look.

At this moment, what Amin disliked the most was that someone mentioned the word "retreat". Amin was already very depressed when he was beaten back from Tongyuan Fort. If he continued to retreat from Lianshan Pass, Amin himself could not forgive himself. He did not believe that he would be worse by Lu Xiangsheng.

What's so bad is that although Lu Xiangsheng's command only had one infantry battalion of Zhang Lingyun, it was not bad at all in such mountain combat. If it weren't for the advantage of terrain, Amin's three thousand Jin troops would probably have been wiped out.

The place where Amin is confused is here. If he cannot defend the Changbai Mountain Pass, he will not have the shame to see anyone. Tongyuan Fort and Lianshan Pass are the most important paths for Dingliao Right Guard to Liaoyang and Shenyang. At present, the Hu Ben Army has captured Tongyuan Fort and lost its first line of defense. If the Hu Ben Army captures Lianshan Pass again, the key passes at Changbai Mountain will fall into the hands of the Hu Ben Army.

Such consequences were something Amin could not imagine.

"superior!"

"Give it all to me!"

"No one is allowed to retreat!"

Amin pondered for a moment, and suddenly screamed like a mad dog.

He wanted to put more troops into the battle in the dense forest. In any case, he had to stop the progress of the Hu Ben Army.
Chapter completed!
