Chapter 63: Breaking the City
Chen Mu frowned, moving his stiff neck slightly.
Bai Yuanjie closed her hands between her abdomen, exhaled and did not speak, and there was a little loss in her eyes.
Why is there no movement?
Zhang Yongshou sighed one after another, waited for a long time, and finally sat on the grain bag transported by Xinning, and pointed to the two banners boredly: "Go down and see, is the twist extinguished!" ”
In the siege camp of the third watch in the middle of the night, the banner army wore armor and held soldiers, and they heard from the head guard officer that Chen Qianhu would be able to lift the acropolis when they met.
No one had ever seen such a scene, even if they obeyed the orders of the flag officer and asked them to prepare to break through the gap in the city wall, they still craned their necks and looked at the acropolis, eager to see the picture of a thousand households lifting up the acropolis.
There were even banner troops who bowed down to the Acropolis devoutly, but they did not get the god Liuding Liujia to show their might, only in exchange for the general flag waving a whip and whipping it hard.
"Can you worship the gods? Don't interfere with the casting of spells by the Thousand Households! ”
Chen Mu didn't react to these words in the slightest, just sighed longly, and turned around and wanted to stop Zhang Yongshou from sending the flag army down to take a look, but his hand was raised halfway but resisted, "Look, look, take a look." ”
For so long, eighty percent of them are out, right?
"The tunnel is so damp, the bamboo pieces are not covered, and the coffin is buried too solidly......"
Chen Mu racked his brains and babbled about the possibility that carrying the coffin and bombing the city would not succeed, and a thousand words were actually just one sentence, and he was unwilling.
After so much time to prepare, how come it is so thin at this moment?
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration of the earth under his feet, as if it were an illusion, and before the sound could reach his ears and no one could reflect it, a violent light burst out from the foot of the city wall, which seemed to pierce the sky.
Rumble!
At that time, people used to use the long suppressed chant of the earth dragon to describe the sound they heard at this moment, but in fact it was just an extremely short plosive sound that exploded like rolling thunder.
The light and shadow only stayed in his eyes for a moment, and suddenly Chen Mu seemed to see a giant rising from the ground behind the light and shadow, and the twenty or thirty steps wide guard wall was fiercely uplifted, crashed into the sky and then fell violently.
Rammed earth plywood, glutinous rice sticky bricks, at this time all look pale and weak, the smoke of gunpowder between countless city bricks and clods were blown up, in the billowing smoke and dust raindrops scattered and smashed, with the sound of the flag army like a dream to wake up.
A section of the wall is missing.
In the smoke and dust of the night, there was a huge gap in the acropolis, Chen Mu didn't care about it, and ordered to shout: "Light the torch and attack through the gap!" ”
The banner army rubbed their eyes and waited to see what it was like for the city wall to explode, the light only flashed for a moment, and their eyes could not see anything, and then they heard the order in their ears, and the habit of obeying orders cultivated by long-term training brought them a group of soldiers and horses.
The torch that lit the torch, the order that was given, and the charge that charged made Chen Mu look stunned.
He had never seen his army so chaotic, if it weren't for the fact that the general banners of the hundreds of households had stood with their own banner army before, they would now be a group of chaotic troops swarming into the gap in the city wall.
Zhang Yongshou and Deng Zilong had already led the troops to rush forward, and Bai Yuanjie said hello and followed the army to command...... In fact, there is nothing to command, this is a night battle, and the opponent is still a widow.
"They're there!"
Chen Mu climbed the uneven gap all over the ground, Shao Tingda had already led the banner army of his headquarters to climb the city wall from the left side of the gap, and slept with the city on the armor At this time, the Japanese soldiers who had already been frightened by the huge explosion started a bloody battle.
In the Guanghai Acropolis at night, the battle began at the same time.
Most of them sleep on the ground in the colonel field in the city, but most of the bunks under them are covered with looted quilts, and the braziers around them are shining brightly.
Deng Zilong saw them as soon as he rushed into the gap, and the eyebrow knife dragged a spark on the stone road and led the army to rush over.
Three or four hundred of them formed a huge military formation on the martial arts arena, and some of them were suddenly awakened by the fact that they didn't even have time to buckle up the hats and hurriedly took up their weapons, holding their long and short spears horizontally to meet the flag army that rushed up, and the iron cannons were scattered in the formation, and there were also cannonballs fired with large iron cannons, and the sound was terrifying.
They have a lot of firearms, and the light of fire is shining in the formation one by one, and even compared to Chen Muqi's army, which is close to thirty percent of its firearms and equipment, it is also evenly matched, but there are not many iron armors and no shields, and it is obviously not powerful to charge in the face of the banner army that is several times their strength.
Even if there is a firearm, it is only a firearm, and if it is firearmed, it will be dropped and it will be charged forward with a knife or spear.
"Send the cannon here!"
The two tiger squats and one cannon newly made by Xiangshan have long been brought by Bai Yuanjie, but it is difficult to work in the face of the strong bombardment of the city gate hole full of wood and stone at a depth of more than a dozen steps.
At this time, Chen Mu saw that the collapse of the city wall could not cause too much trouble to the artillery handling, so he immediately ordered the cannon to be fetched.
That is, the city bricks fill the trench, otherwise the trench will not be able to support such a heavy cannon even if it is put on wooden planks.
The gap in the wall is a good place, the highest point is more than a foot lower than the city wall, but there are gentle slopes of earth clods above and below, which is an excellent aiming position...... Looking at the past from this position, the confrontation between the formation of the three banner armies and the garrison of the Japanese army is extremely conspicuous, and the light from the bursts of bird guns is a live target in the night.
"Thousand households, the left city wall is empty!"
Before the cannon arrived, Shao Tingda held on to the broken mouth of the city wall and said to Chen Mu: "The gun team fights on the women's wall, and it can hit the widows!" ”
"Don't mess around, when the tiger cannon comes up, you will lead the troops to the southern city wall and slaughter all the widows on the city wall!" The city wall is nearly 200 steps away from the martial arts arena, and their own banner army has already engaged in battle with them, Chen Mu doesn't want any banner army to be killed by the widows but by his own people from the back, "They sealed the city gate to death, just right." ”
"Don't even think about running!"
The Japanese invaders have made great efforts to seal the city, they are easy to attack the city, there are always many people borrowed from the south gate, there are always large arquebuses to break the urn city and the city wall, the two gates of the urn city and the city wall, it is their turn to defend the city, naturally they will not let go of this mistake, demolish the house in the city and block all the eight city gate holes, and make up their minds to defend it, I don't know what to think.
Maybe you want to drag the army outside the city to relax and then release the sling to escape?
No matter what, Chen Mu will not let them go now.
A whole small flag army has been carried and dragged to the end of the more than 300 catties of cannon to the city wall, Chen Mu continued to set up the cannon position, and saw a burst of light in the distance of the Japanese army array, a loud noise beside him in the scream, a banner army carrying the cannon was hit in the chest by a cannonball shot by a big iron cannon, and the cloth armor smashed out a terrible depression, and there was no breath in a blink of an eye.
Chen Mu's heart was pounding, and the movements in his hands kept readjusting the angle of the artillery, aiming at the direction of the light that had just erupted, just two hundred steps away, giving way to the back seat of the artillery, and ignition.
Bang!
"Damn the dwarven musketeers!"
