Chapter 8: Siege II
Chapter 8: Siege II
Chen De was behind the women's wall and shouted, "Release." ”
Above the city, a dense row of bird guns appeared.
"Bang." Countless guns fell.
After a row of bird guns came over, they immediately handed the beaten bird guns to the back, and someone took them and handed another loaded bird gun up.
Three people, three muskets, one to shoot, two to reload. Keeping the firepower uninterrupted, this is the use of bird guns in the Ming Dynasty. Dozens of bird guns suppressed the ladder, and even if there was a ladder, no one could pass through it. However, now hundreds of volunteer soldiers and soldiers have gathered under the city, and all kinds of long-range weapons are also beckoning to the city.
What firearms, what bows and arrows, crackling up.
From time to time, a soldier fell to the ground, or was shot in the face, or was struck by a bird's gun.
It's just that the advantage in height is too obvious.
And that's just the beginning.
"Here we are." All immediately got out of the way, and a large pot of fire oil was poured down.
Immediately several torches fell down, and all the surfaces on the ladder were covered with mud, but it could not be burned with the oil of fire, but in a moment the ladder caught fire.
This time the attack was a failure.
It's just that at this time, the Lu bus also came slowly.
Unlike other siege equipment, Lu Gongche has the ability to directly attack the head of the city, and just close to the city wall, it begins to exert its might.
On the hardwood plank of the wall, a dense number of firing ports were opened. Rockets and artillery were fired at the city from the top of the Lu bus.
Without the height difference, the soldiers above the city suddenly suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Chen Yongfu immediately took over this section of the city wall with his own soldiers. After all, this kind of soldier who was temporarily recruited from the city could not bear too many casualties.
"Order all artillery to bombard the Lu bus in unison." Chen Yongfu ordered.
It's just that such an order can have a great effect, and it is not necessarily. What can really be used is the artillery on this section of the city wall that Lu Gongcha directly attacked, and the farther away, there are still enemies in front of you to deal with, not to mention, the farther the distance, the more inaccurate the accuracy.
For a time, shells rained down and arrows flew.
The other troops besieging the city are not Yuan Shizhong's descendants, but among the Lu buses, they are Yuan Shizhong's descendants, and they are led by Wang Xianzu. Yuan Shizhong didn't want Wang Xianzu to lead the team, after all, although this attack was huge, it was just a tentative attack.
Take a look at it, you can see that Yuan Shizhong's headquarters and Zhang Xuan's headquarters were not used, but they were just placed in the back as a team to supervise the team, driving other departments to rush to the city.
But Wang Xianzu was a person who couldn't sit still, and begged again and again, and Yuan Shizhong agreed.
This Lu Gong
In the car, hundreds of people were all elite soldiers selected by Wang Xianzu from Yuan Shizhong.
Wang Xianzu was on the top floor, commanding several tiger squatting cannons to bombard the city.
Large swaths of scattered bullets were poured on the city as if they didn't want money, and all the artillery on the city was dumb for a while, not because the artillery was broken, but because everyone died.
However, at the same time, the Lu bus was also under attack from all directions, and one shell after another hit the Lu bus. Wang Xianzu felt a shock under his feet from time to time, and he knew that he had been hit again.
The Lu bus was a killer weapon prepared by Zhang Xuan, although Zhang Xuan did not think that the first attack could be successful. But an extremely tight shot was also made on the Lu bus.
On the side of the Lu bus towards the finished machine, there was not a single plank at all, all of them were logs, and most of the shooting holes were drilled out of the logs. It is simply a wooden city, although there are many cannons on the Kaifeng City, there is no one that can overturn the Lu bus with one shot.
Zhang Xuan even felt that the so-called Hongyi cannon, this Lu bus could also eat one or two cannons.
Therefore, from time to time, wood planks were discounted, and from time to time, the soldiers in the Lu bus were killed, and even a cannonball directly penetrated the third layer of the Lu bus, killing more than a dozen people, but this Lu bus still had no structural problems, and it was still slowly and firmly crashing into the city wall with the efforts of dozens of cattle at the bottom.
"Ready." Wang Xianzu licked his lips with some excitement and said, "Sons, kill me." ”
He took the lead, and after several artillery salvos on the Lu bus, he jumped up, jumped over a distance of half a zhang, and jumped above the city.
"It's in town."
Under the watchtower.
Yuan Shizhong suddenly became nervous. Wang Xianzu is his right-hand man, and this Kaifeng City is also known as the Iron Wall Heroic City, how to make Yuan Shizhong not nervous, he gritted his teeth and said: "Order, all-out attack, let those who still have a breath of air all for me." ”
"Yes." Zheng Lian immediately took out a note from his body and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, he had already written down all the situations he could encounter on the battlefield. Ready.
Above the watchtower, an order was given.
"Kill." The shouting and killing sound, which was much louder than just now, sounded instantly.
Countless soldiers carried a five-zhang long ladder and rushed up, even Zhang Xuan's headquarters and Yuan Shizhong's headquarters were used, but they were not attacking the city, but approaching the battle. This is to be attached to the ants to siege the city.
Ant-attached siege is the most brutal of all siege methods. This kind of long ladder is easy to make, but if people rush through it without cover, most of them will die under the bow and arrow of the city. Moreover, the long ladder is much easier to deal with than the cloud ladder, and I am afraid that more people will die under the city if they can't even touch the city.
But Zhang Xuan didn't have any opinions.
First of all, Wang Xianzu's life is important, if he does not distract the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. Once Wang Xianzu died in the city, it was a blow to Yuan Shizhong, and second, Zhang
Xuan didn't expect that the effect of this Lu bus was so good, and it actually approached the city wall.
In Zhang Xuan's mind, with artillery bombardment, he should be able to dismantle this wooden shelf.
After all, this Lu bus is made of wood, not iron.
Even if it is made of steel, it cannot withstand the power of artillery.
It's just that all this in front of him does not conform to Zhang Xuan's understanding. He secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that there is a killer weapon hidden in Kaifeng City, which is useless?" Or is it the artillery of this era, that's what it looks like? I may use the power of modern artillery to estimate the power of the artillery of this era, am I wrong? ”
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, it was only after the fact that Zhang Xuan focused on the battlefield again.
On top of the Kaifeng Iron Tower. Gao Mingheng's hand grasping the clairvoyant mirror tightened suddenly. Fingers pinched white on the bronze barrel of the clairvoyant.
The clairvoyant mirror is a rarity.
Gao Mingheng can't say that he treats this clairvoyant mirror as a treasure in his hand, but he also loves it and doesn't dare to lose the slightest, because in Gao Mingheng's eyes, this thing is not a plaything, but a weapon of militarism, and a weapon of militarism must be treated like a weapon of militarism.
But now Gao Mingheng doesn't pay any attention to this.
Although because of the sight problem.
In the entire battlefield, Gao Mingheng saw only half of it clearly, that is, the east half, and the west side, he couldn't really see it. But a behemoth like Lu Gongche has always been in his attention. And at this moment, someone actually landed in the city, which made Gao Mingheng's nerves tense.
All Kaifeng City can rely on is a city wall.
However, Gao Mingheng took a few deep breaths, squeezed the clairvoyant mirror's hand, and relaxed a little.
It was useless for him to be anxious at this time.
The most elite soldiers and horses in the city, the best generals, he has been placed on the north city. What can he do even if he is in a hurry? Sending others up, I'm afraid it's not as good as Chen Yongfu. All he could do was believe in Chen Yongfu.
All that's left is to wait.
Wait for victory, wait for defeat, and wait for loyalty to the country.
"I hope you don't disappoint me. Mr. Chen. Gao Mingheng sighed secretly in his heart, calmed down, and returned to his attitude of being a minister.
On the battlefield, how many eyes are staring here, Wang Xianzu doesn't know, but Wang Xianzu smelled blood, gunpowder, sweat, and countless flavors converged to form a unique smell of the battlefield, and the whole person became excited.
"Kill." With a knife in his head, he killed an officer and soldier, rushed into the bird team of the official army, and killed the soldiers, and the soldiers behind him rushed up one after another, but after a while, they occupied a corner of the city wall. Behind him, a steady stream of soldiers were like ants, killing the city wall through the Lu bus, forming a smooth passage.
Wang Xianzu had a feeling for a while, as if Kaifeng City was under his feet.
