Three hundred rockets turned into a rain of arrows and shot at the Qing soldiers on the well railing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The long snake god machine arrow was poisonous, and as soon as it was shot, the whole person was hopeless. Although there was a wooden fence on the well railing, the upper body of the Tartar was still exposed outside the guardrail, and the Qing gunners were shot quite a lot. The bow and arrow pierced the Tartar's chest, neck, and even the inside of the head. Many Tartars clutched their bows and arrows in their wounds and cried out loudly and rolled on the spot. Several of the Tartars fell off the well railing in the tumbling and fell half to death on the cold mud of winter.

Although the arrows of the hundred tigers are not poisonous, the gunpowder is more fierce, and it can even break through the wooden plank guardrail on the well fence and assassinate the body of the Tartar behind the guardrail. Several Tartar soldiers hid under the planks when they saw the rocket cart launch, but they were still pierced by the arrows of a hundred tigers.

A rocket car shot out, and almost half of the Qing troops on a well fence were killed.

Cao Bianjiao saw the effect of the rocket car, and his face was happy. This kind of rocket car and arrow rain is dense and powerful, and it can be said to be a sharp weapon for defending the city. Being able to kill more than a dozen Tartars at once is also a great feat.

It's a pity that the cost of rocket cars is too high to equip in large quantities, otherwise hundreds of rocket cars will be fired in a salvo, how many people will die in the Tartars?

After a while, the ladder cart of the Tartars moved up, and the Tartars filled the moat and were about to attack the city.

The ladder was erected on the two-zhang high city wall, and thousands of dead Tartar soldiers began to climb the wall with various weapons in hand. The Tartar dead soldiers wore two layers of armor, a layer of iron-inlaid cotton armor on the outside, and a layer of chain mail on the inside. Behind them, they slammed into the wall under the elite brawling array behind them, not allowing them to retreat. But if there is a retreat, it is not to mention that he will be killed on the spot.

Under the cover of the firecrackers, thousands of dead Tartars howled and rushed up the ladder. The momentum of moving forward made Cao Bianjiao's face on the city wall very ugly.

Tartars: Is this really trying to capture Tower Hill? Got a lot of money?

However, Cao Bianjiao is known as General Xiao Cao, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not vegetarians. Cao Bianjiao hid behind the battlement wall and loudly commanded the Ming troops on the city wall to block them in the direction of the main attack of the Tartars.

Behind the battlement wall, the dismounted cavalry of Thistle Town, armed with three-eyed guns, fired at the dead Tartars on the ladder.

The Three-Eyed Gun is a close-range firearm consisting of three barrels, each filled with gunpowder and projectiles, which can be fired directly when used. Although this weapon can only bombard targets within thirty paces, it is not accurate to go any further. However, this firearm is still very useful for cavalry melee or defending the city.

At this time, the Qing army was climbing the ladder with its head buried, and it was basically defenseless against the Three-Eyed Gun. The Ming army rushed to the battlement and lit the three-eyed gun, and hid back inside the city wall after hitting the gun, reducing the time exposed to the Qing army's firearms.

The crackling sound of the city wall continued to sound, and clouds of black mist emerged from the three-eyed guns. Although the siege Tartars were wearing heavy armor, at such a close range, even heavy armor could not resist the bombardment of the Three-Eyed Gun. Once shot, the buckshot instantly pierces the Tartars' helmets, piercing through their double armor and tearing through the flesh underneath the armor.

However, the Qing army's firecrackers were not vegetarians. Jizhen's shooters left the protection of the battlement wall and shot with the three-eyed gun, and within a few seconds, many people were targeted by the Qing army's musketeers. From time to time on the city wall, the cavalry of Jizhen was shot by the Qing army's gunners and fell down screaming.

Because they were suppressed by the firecrackers outside the city walls, the shooters of the Ming army did not dare to aim carefully, and the hit rate of the three-eyed guns was somewhat low.

Cao Bianjiao always observed the situation on the battlefield: so far, there has been no chaos on the city wall. Although the three-eyed gun on his side couldn't aim steadily, it was a close-range shot after all, and it killed a lot of Tartars. As Cao Bianjiao saw from the side of the battlement wall, nearly ten Tartars were killed. On the northern city wall, which is more than a mile long, I don't know how many Tartars died.

Cao Bianjiao clenched a three-eyed gun in his hand and stabilized his mind. He slammed out of the battlement wall and shot buckshot at a Tartar warrior who was climbing the ladder. After shooting a shot, Cao Bianjiao didn't look at the result, so he hid back behind the battlement wall.

No sooner had he returned to the back of the battlement wall than he heard a scream of a tartar outside, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Apparently the Tartar vest had been hit and had fallen under the ladder.

Seeing that the main general and the soldiers fought bravely together to kill the enemy and achieve results, the Jizhen cavalry around Cao Bianjiao cheered in unison, and their morale was boosted.

Beside Cao Bianjiao, Tashan's local guard, Deputy General Liang Yunjin looked at Cao Bianjiao who personally went into battle to kill the enemy with admiration, and said in a deep voice: "General Xiao Cao is really a hero." ”

Cao Bianjiao suddenly rushed out again, firing two guns at the battlement, and then quickly hid behind the battlement wall.

After fighting for a while, the Ming army's three-eyed gun gradually finished fighting. The Ming army did not have time to reload, and the dead soldiers of the Tartars rushed to the city wall.

Three thousand Jizhen cavalry and two thousand local defenders of Tashan besieged the dead Tartar soldiers who rushed up on the city wall.

Although the Tartar dead soldiers were brave, Cao Bianjiao's Jizhen cavalry was not weak at all. And the dead soldiers of the Tartars rushed up one by one, as if adding fuel to the tactics. The defenders on the city wall struck more and less and firmly controlled the situation on the city wall.

One by one, the Tartar armoured soldiers rushed to the head of the city, surrounded by the cavalry of Jizhen, and fought left and right for a while, and then died under the sword stabbed by the side or back, and lost their lives.

Cao Bianjiao held the three-eyed gun that had finished the bullet in his hand, and used the three-eyed gun as a hammer. Observing the opportunity, he suddenly jumped high and smashed his hammer on the head of a vest soldier with his back to him, denting the helmet of the vest soldier and even his head. The soldier fell to the ground without saying a word, and died without uttering a single scream.

But as soon as the Qing soldiers at the head of the wall died, the Han soldiers on the well fence began to shoot into the battlements. Cao Bianjiao hurriedly hid behind the battlement wall.

After fighting for a while, more and more Qing troops climbed the city wall, and Cao Bianjiao gradually felt the pressure of the Qing army. He was about to rearrange the defenses, but suddenly heard the sound of gold from the Qing army.

The Tartars suddenly withdrew.

The Tartars who stormed the walls were overwhelmed and jumped off the walls from the battlements and retreated like a tidal wave.

Cao Bianjiao was stunned, and for a while he couldn't understand why Tartar had withdrawn.

Cao Bianjiao looked at the city wall for a long time, and saw that the 20,000 Qing troops abandoned the siege facilities, abandoned Tashan City, and drove to the north in a group. After a quarter of an hour, suddenly the south gate of the city was opened, and a team of Ming army scouts ran into Tashan City, ran up the city wall and knelt in front of Cao Bianjiao.

"Handsome! Reinforcements are coming! ”

It turned out that reinforcements came and forced back the Qing army besieging the city.

Cao Bianjiao's face was overjoyed, and he asked loudly: "Xingguo Bo came to help?" ”

The scout captain shook his head and said, "Xing Guobo didn't come." ”

Cao Bianjiao's face sank and he didn't speak. He silently wiped the blood from the three-eyed gun and tied it to his belt, as if he was ready for the next bitter battle.
