Chapter 109: Bitter Battle (3)
A cannonball hit the battlements not far from Liu Hong, and the battlements were hit by the cannonballs in an instant, Niu Zhuang was the closest to Liu Hong, and an arrow rushed up to knock Liu Hong down under him.
The broken stones were scattered everywhere, and many soldiers were affected at the head of the city, and several people fell to the ground.
The flying stones scratched Niu Zhuang's cheeks, back, and thighs, and a basketball-sized stone smashed on Niu Zhuang's back, Niu Zhuang spat blood from his mouth, but still tightly supported Liu Hongjian under him.
"Big mallet!" Liu Hong was gradually pressed under Niu Zhuang and couldn't move, and several young people with minor injuries immediately ran over to pick up the stones on Niu Zhuang's body, and several shields immediately protected the two of them.
Niu Zhuang's face was full of flesh, and blood kept coming out of his mouth, and the boulder was quite heavy, which had already hurt Niu Zhuang's viscera.
"Big sticks! Big sticks! How are you! Liu Hong gradually hugged Niu Zhuang into his arms, his eyes were full of tears.
"My lord, I finally blocked the knife for my lord!" Niu Zhuang grinned, his mouth full of white teeth mixed with blood foam.
It has been more than half a year since Sun Xiuxiu was assassinated last time, and although Niu Zhuang looks rough and reckless on the surface, he still deeply blames himself for the injury of his family that time.
"Shut up, what nonsense, I didn't say it a long time ago, I don't blame you for that, you idiot!" Liu Hong's eyes gradually turned red, and he reached out to wipe the blood oozing from the corner of Niu Zhuang's mouth.
"Hey—hey, me...... Bull mallet...... 's life, worthless, can give ...... Adults do things, I am strong, I am fortunate in three lives, I only wish...... Only...... May ......"
Before he finished speaking, Niu Zhuang's neck was crooked and he passed out.
"Come on, carry Niu Baihu down, find the best Langzhong in the city for diagnosis and treatment, and be sure to keep him safe." Liu Hong gradually wiped a handful of tears, and said with a pale face.
Two sergeants trotted over with improvised stretchers.
Boom - a few more cannonballs hit the city wall, and several shield soldiers raised their shields to block the rubble for Liu Hong.
"Wait-take this with you, let Lang Zhong apply this medicine to the wound, it can quickly stop the bleeding!"
Seeing that the two of them were carrying Niu Zhuang and preparing to go down to the city, Liu Hong suddenly remembered something, took out a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from his waist, and the two soldiers did not suspect him, took the medicine bottle and rushed down to the city.
"Shoot hundreds of households to listen to the order, this official ordered you to turn on the burst shooting mode, don't spare the bullets, and destroy the broken shield for Lao Tzu!"
Liu Hong gradually picked up Niu Zhuang's firearm from the ground, opened the safety with a click, and shouted angrily.
Although Niu Zhuang is usually very arrogant, he never bullies the recruits of the Thousand Households as a pro-soldier Baihu official, but as a veteran, he often teaches them how to meet the enemy and how to chop with the Tartars.
The moment Niu Zhuang was carried down, not only Liu Hongji, but also many teenagers held back tears.
Dada-
The AKM, which had been turned on in burst mode, had a huge recoil force, and in order to make the bullet hit the shield as accurately as possible, the teenagers gritted their teeth and put the butt of their rifles against their right shoulders, enduring the pain in their shoulders and shooting at the castle.
A cannonball deviated from the city wall, passed through the battlement, and hit the chest of a teenager who was trying to shoot with a gun, and the huge impact sent the boy flying backwards.
The shell passed through the boy's chest and hit the wall behind him before stopping.
"Little Bean!" Liu Hong gradually turned his head to see the flying boy, dropped the gun in his hand, and ran to the young man's side.
The boy named Xiaodouzi was just fifteen years old this year, and he had not yet reached the age of Liu Hong's conscription requirements, but Liu Hongjian remembered that he and his family only had one mother to rely on, and he lacked food and clothing, so he couldn't bear to agree to his enlistment for a while.
The boy's entire chest cavity was shattered, his eyes were blankly open, and blood was pouring out of his mouth, and he wanted to make a sound but couldn't.
"Ahh
Liu Hong gradually picked up the gun and stood straight at the battlement, loaded the magazine, pulled the bolt, and the bullet spat out the fire snake like a meteor, and the bullet casings fell to the ground.
The surrounding teenagers also felt Liu Hongji's grief and indignation, gritted their teeth and shot wildly.
The heavy shield soaked in cotton was able to block AKM bullets, and the infantry behind the shield was immediately a little unable to resist such a dense fire.
One gap, two gaps, the soldiers who filled it were of no avail, the shields were all beaten into a sieve, and the two Franc machines in front of them collapsed first.
But before the retreating soldiers could retreat into the camp, they were fired by the crossbows and crossbows of the rear to the hedgehogs, and groups of civilians carried heavy shields to protect the cannons.
One side tried to fire more shots, and the other side tried to stop it, and the two sides went back and forth for two quarters of an hour.
Except for a Franc machine that was protected by the super heavy shield on the carriage before, the rest of the cannons were all extinguished, no matter how much Yuan Zongdi lured him, no one dared to approach to protect the Franc cannon.
There are a lot of corpses piled up around the Franc cannon, and no matter how stupid a person is, he also understands the truth that there is a life to earn and a life to spend.
"My lord, a section of the city wall on the right can't hold it!" Yan Yingyuan trotted behind Liu Hongjian and yelled, the gunfire was huge, and Liu Hong, who had fallen into madness, gradually turned a deaf ear.
It wasn't until Yan Yingyuan shook his shoulder vigorously that Liu Hong gradually stopped the movement in his hand.
The barrel of the AKM has been burned red by the constant spray of bullets, and it is clear that if such high-intensity shooting continues a little longer, the gun will be scrapped, and in this era, the scrapping of the barrel is almost irreversible.
Boom - Before Liu Hong could gradually ask what was going on, the city wall on the right side of the city gate collapsed, and the young man who had already received Yan Yingyuan's order avoided it far away, leaving a hole about twenty meters wide on the city wall.
"The city wall has been broken, the first person to rush into the city, reward five thousand taels of silver, be named an earl, and the beauties in the city will do their best to choose, rush!"
Yuan Zongdi waited too long for this moment, and he firmly believed that as long as there was no city wall, his army would be able to defeat this small county town in danger.
Power, silver, beauty, the peasant army's eyes were lit up by Yuan Zongdi's stimulation, and several generals around them also licked their chapped lips greedily.
"Rush—" The peasant army rushed towards the gap in the wall with long swords and shields, for power, for silver, for beauty.
"Chang Yu, Zu Qiuqing, Li Baida, Wang Lang, Xingshan, and Yue Chengze will go down to the city with me to meet the enemy, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Dunhou are responsible for suppressing the city, go!"
Liu Hong gradually waved his hand and took the lead in going down to the city.
"My lord, let the lower official go down! The next official will live up to the trust of adults! Yan Yingyuan pulled out his war knife and blocked it in front of Liu Hongji, everyone knew the danger under the city, and Yan Yingyuan understood it better.
He read poetry and books all his life but failed to pass the test as a classic history, and Liu Hong gradually realized that it was difficult to repay the grace of the encounter, and saw that Liu Hong gradually wanted to defend the city, not only sadness came from it.
"You are familiar with military books and good at defending the city, it should be more useful than me to stay on the side of the city, if I don't have an accident, you go down again, remember, the city is in the people!"
"Adult ......"
"Less nonsense, obey orders!" Liu Hong gradually interrupted Yan Yingyuan and rushed down to the city with a group of teenagers.
