Chapter 992: Runan Falls
After inspecting the military formation, Gao Yihuan hit his horse and returned to the main formation, boarded the lookout car to watch the battle, Huang Bingzhong immediately entered the Chinese army, saw that the time had come, pulled out his saber, and pointed forward, "Siege!" โ
The soldiers of the Wei army standing outside the west city, the voice shook the four fields, and as soon as the military order was given, it was like a dam opening the floodgates, and the army rushed to Runan City like a flood.
On the city, the Ming soldiers saw that the morale of the Wei soldiers was so high, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of cowardice in their hearts, but the two armies clashed, either you died or I died, it was useless to be afraid, if you didn't kill him, he would kill you, the Ming gunners brought the torch close to the lead, and the artillery began to attack first.
"Bang bang bang bang ......" The artillery roared at the head of the city, raising clouds of smoke, and the cannonballs whistled out, shooting towards the city, splashing a puff of dirt in the Wei army's formation.
On the Hongyi artillery array of the Wei army, the officer waved the flag, and the cannon body retreated sharply in turn in the roar, and the shells roared and smashed towards the city, and the masonry immediately shattered, causing a burst of exclamation.
Under the mutual attack of the artillery on both sides, the Wei soldiers pushed the shield cart and carried the long ladder, and began to charge forward, the soldiers approached the city wall, the city head firecracker, bows and arrows fired together, and the stone thrower behind the city crunched and threw stones and earth-shattering thunder, the Wei soldiers were swept away in the explosion, but this did not affect the courage of the Wei soldiers at all, and they still braved the fire of the city and rushed to the city wall with all their might.
When the army was attacking and attracting the firepower of the city, Yuan Shizhong drew his sword and pointed forward, "Brothers, go up!" โ
Six thousand Wei soldiers entered the zigzag ditch that led directly to the city, and the soldiers carried a bag of dirt, and then along the ditch, directly to the mound under the city, and then went up the slope, and threw bags of soil between the mound and the city wall, so that the mound continued to approach the city wall, and finally piled up a slope that went directly to the city.
On the city wall, there were dense gun flames and cannon flames, and the Ming soldiers fired continuously, suppressing the Wei soldiers to pile up the soil, and the soldiers were constantly hit, and even the people and the soil rolled down together.
Chen Mingyu stood at the head of the city, his vision was obscured by the mound of earth, and he could not see the back of the mound, and the Wei soldiers were all over the slope like ants, only to see that the bags of soil were thrown to the bottom of the city, and in the distant trenches, there were crowds of people, constantly transporting soil to the bottom of the mound.
At this time, most of the firearms and arrows of the defenders in the city hit the front of the mound and could not hit the Wei army on the slope. โ
Behind the city wall, the stone throwers of the Ming army shook the throwing rod in unison, and one by one the black objects rose into the air, and the Wei soldiers who were carrying the soil bag raised their heads, and the black earth-shattering thunder quickly magnified in their eyes, and the officer immediately exclaimed, "Get down!" โ
"Boom, boom!" Behind the mound of earth, a cloud of dazzling white light, violent wind and air waves, instantly threw the body of the Wei soldier into the air, and the Wei soldier behind the slope was killed and half injured.
The Wei soldiers who were transporting earth and rocks in the trench hurriedly squatted down, and the explosion exploded on the ground, and the strong wind blew overhead, and the soil that was blown up to the sky fell with a bang and hit the soldiers, which made people tremble and be frightened.
The soldiers who carried the earth walked through the trench to the bottom of the city, and did not show their heads, unless the earth-shaking thunder fell into the trench, the damage was not great, but the soldiers who went out of the trench and piled up earth on the slope suffered heavy casualties.
Yuan Shizhong shook the soil on his body, and saw that the soldier was killed and injured by the explosion, and the muscles on his face twitched, and he roared angrily, "Keep filling!" โ
The Wei army doctors hurriedly rushed out of the trench and dragged the wounded soldiers back, and the Wei troops in the trench carried the soil bags and continued to rush up the slope to build the soil bags to the city wall.
Behind the city wall, the stone thrower of the Ming army continued to shake the throwing rod, the musketeers raised their guns and fired a volley, and the Wei soldiers who threw the dirt bags at the top of the slope fell down like mowing grass, and the people and the earth bags rolled down to the foot of the city wall.
In other places of the city wall, the Wei army erected a ladder to climb the city, the rolling wood and stone at the head of the city fell like hail, a climbing tower, before it was close to the city wall, it was paralyzed by artillery, and the Wei artillery saw that the Ming artillery position was exposed, and immediately there was a direct fire of Hongyi cannons, and the mortar cannon was hoisted, overturning the Ming army's artillery position, and the soldiers' bodies were blown up and flew up, and they fell heavily under the city.
The entire section of the wall, where the fighting was most intense, was still near the mound in the middle.
On both sides of the mound, the Wei soldiers dug trenches and advanced thirty paces below the city, and the Wei musketeers stood in the trenches and fired at the city.
The musketeers of the Ming army at the head of the city condescendingly fired at the Wei army, and the two sides opened fire in unison in the rising smoke, the flames flickered, the projectiles were intertwined, and the battle was extremely fierce.
During the fierce firing on both sides, on the mound in the middle, the Wei soldiers braved the explosion and built the mound close to the city wall, and the bodies of the Wei soldiers who were shot were mixed in the soil bags layer upon layer, revealing their faces full of blood and their white arms, which was shocking.
At this time, as the mound of earth approached the city wall, in addition to the artillery machine behind the city, the hands of the soldiers at the head of the city threw thunder, which could also be thrown directly behind the mound, and the Wei soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Seeing this, Yuan Shizhong roared loudly, "Isn't the mortar still in place?" โ
At this moment, in the trench on the side of the mound, there was a loud noise, and a black projectile was seen rising into the air, drawing an arc, and falling on the head of the city.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a cloud of white light erupted at the head of the city, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
Behind the slope, the bombardiers of the Wei army threw earth-shattering thunder at each other with the head of the city, and the losses on both sides were very heavy after a short distance, while the soldiers who filled the soil took the opportunity to continue to fill in the soil in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a flowering bullet fell behind the city, and the explosion instantly swept through the surrounding things within more than ten meters, and the Ming soldiers who operated the stone throwing machine were lifted away, and the wooden stone throwing machine was hit by shrapnel and rubble, and the sawdust was splashed, and the wooden frame was broken, and it was useless.
With the Wei army's mortar artillery, the Ming army at the head of the city was gradually suppressed, a cannonball fell on the city, the explosion splashed countless rubble, and the Ming soldiers immediately raised their shields to protect Chen Mingyu.
"General!" A member of the Ming General ran covered in blood, "I can't stand it!" โ
Chen Mingyu's face was gloomy, he drew his sword in his hand, and roared angrily, "Don't panic, after the Wei army arrives in the city, their artillery will be a rat trap." The guards are ready to fight in close quarters and live and die with Runan! โ
The main general is like this, and the soldiers of the Ming army immediately pulled out their weapons one after another, resolutely with tragedy, and roared loudly, "Coexist with the city!" โ
At this moment, the Wei army's earthen bag was finally close to the city wall, and it was close enough to climb to the top of the city.
"Kill!" Yuan Shizhong jumped up from the trench, pointed angrily at his sword, and let out a roar that shook Runan.
On the top of the slope, the Wei army threw thunderers, threw the earth-shattering thunder like raindrops on the head of the city, and on the city wall in front of the slope, almost all the defenders of the Ming army were killed, and the personnel were empty.
On the slope of the mound, a team of melee killers in armor poured up the city wall in dense numbers, and the black armor obscured the eyes of the red earth.
The Wei soldiers rushed out of the smoke and dust, Chen Mingyu led the guards to kill, the two armies collided like a torrent of steel, first the long soldiers attacked, then the war knife slashed, and finally the face to face fight, casually down with a knife, a cloud of blood mist rose.
Outside the city, Huang Bingzhong raised his arms and waved his fist, "Okay!" Rush up! Summoned Li Yuanyin to blast the city wall. โ
Looking upstairs from the rear, Gao Yihuan retracted the clairvoyant mirror and exhaled a breath of turbidity, "In the future, this kind of siege war should be fought as little as possible, it will hurt your vitality too much." โ
At this time, the Wei soldiers continued to pour into the city, the two armies fought hand-to-hand in the city, Chen Mingyu waved his knife and fought angrily, commanding the soldiers to surround the Wei army, and at this moment, a huge sound suddenly came from the direction of the north city, which shocked the soldiers and soldiers, and saw the north of the city, rising smoke and dust, and then heard it, the buzzing shout came, and the Wei army rushed into the city from the gap.
"General, the North City is broken!" The Ming soldiers around him all showed horror on their faces and exclaimed loudly.
The defenders are fighting hand-to-hand in Xicheng, and there are no soldiers to reinforce Beicheng, once the Ming army rushes in, the defenders will be powerless to return to the sky.
Chen Ming met the tiger's eyes with tears, suddenly cried bitterly, and knelt facing south, "Your Majesty! I did my best! โ
After finishing speaking, without the reaction of the guards, he slammed the knife horizontally, splashed a cloud of blood mist, and swung the knife to kill himself.
"General!" The surrounding soldiers knelt in a circle, exclaimed in surprise, and wept bitterly.
