136 Siege

The next day, when Wu Jie and his party began to lead the team to clean up the messy battlefield in Jilong Harbor, Li Tianyang and his party had already disappeared into the vast sea with more than a dozen warships.

At this time, Bengang just started the first siege attempt.

After two or three days of repair, the follow-up reinforcements of the tribes of Zhuluo Mountain have been in place, and now the residential area of Bengang camp is full of faint, drilled in and out of the natives. The belated tribal people did not let go of the daily necessities in any corner, pots and pans, and the objects that the villagers of Bengang did not take away were the objects of their favorites, especially iron and porcelain, which were their favorites, and even the night pots with a little dirty things were also collected by the natives as treasures.

In just half a day's effort, the site that had been swept by the Zhuluo Mountain clans that came first was empty at this time, and it was almost dug three feet into the ground.

With great difficulty, the group of red-eyed clansmen was put together, and many of them looked at the neatly arranged houses in the residential area with great dissatisfaction, thinking that there was anything else in them that could be transported back to the tribe.

Several patriarchs also have headaches, and they have worked hard to manage this group of clansmen who let go of their hands and feet. It's just that in the past two days, all kinds of things have been in trouble because of trivial small things, and even big fights have come and gone, and there are countless of them, if it weren't for the forced suppression of several family elders and elders, there would be no need for the Hongtang team members to take action, and these people would have fought in their nests.

Seeing that things were left unchecked and out of control, the patriarchs of several families discussed with Elder Dahai, and without waiting for the remaining clansmen who had not yet arrived, they began the first real siege battle.

The first to appear was naturally the siege tower that Elder Dahai had high hopes for, and the tower that was still lying on the ground was righted by the natives two days ago.

When I was lying on the ground, I didn't feel that after being erected, the height of these towers was even higher than the inner wall of Bengang. As the tower was gradually pushed and pulled by the natives, slowly approaching along the road that had been leveled out by them in advance, Zhao Xingdou and the others on the Bengang side once again issued an artillery command.

After a roar, several towers crumbled, but eventually stood firmly. When the smoke cleared, Zhao Xingdou and the other soldiers looked at the tower speechlessly, except for a few more big holes, there were no other fatal shortcomings.

It was hoped that several shells would hit a tower at the same time, and under the impact of powerful kinetic energy, the top-heavy tower would be knocked down. However, the actual effect was very few, and even because of the shortcomings of the tower's shaking, the clever people of the indigenous people immediately organized people to add a triangular support frame behind the tower to make up for this shortcoming.

However, to Zhao Xingdou's surprise, the tower finally stopped at a distance of only about ten zhang from the inner city wall, which made them feel relieved that they were forced to approach this behemoth and that they were at a loss.

Unfortunately, they were wrong, and the natives put a knife on their necks in such an arrangement.

More and more indigenous warriors, carrying bows and arrows, climbed to the top of the tower and into the wooden houses with baffles on the front and back, left and right.

Not long after, the natives below were also reorganized, and in addition to a shield and a long knife, the soldiers in the front row carried a wooden ladder three or four feet long. This is a few days of local materials, in Bengang rushed to work, although the workmanship looks a little rough, but the actual effect is no different from the general wooden ladder!

"Woo!!"

The long and far-reaching horns of the beast horns sounded from the mouths of the leaders of several tribes, and at the same time, at the same time, the signal was received, and a group of impatient native people who had been waiting for a long time shouted and roared towards the inner city of Bengang.

At the same time, a dense array of bows and arrows whistled from the towers towards the inner city of Bengang, a shooting platform one head higher than the inner city, and every move on the inner city wall was clear at this time. Therefore, in the first time, many team members who showed some flaws on the wall were shot by bows and arrows, and became the first wounded in the current war.

Of course, Bengang's side is not vegetarian, and many of the recruited indigenous warriors were organized into a team by Zhao Xingdou and them, specializing in using bows and arrows to attack in a centralized manner. After the first wave of attacks on the archery stands on the towers failed, they abandoned their plans to attack the towers, and instead raised their bows and condescendingly shot at the native warriors who roared and charged towards the walls below.

Holding their shields and charging forward, the indigenous tactics at this time put life and death on the line, hoping to be able to lift the ladder in their hands up the city wall as quickly as possible. One of the natives fell, and the other took the ladder in his hand and continued to move forward, relying on the courage not to be afraid of death, and under a charge, most of the long ladder was erected on the city wall. And the price they paid was the corpses of dozens or hundreds of clansmen lying on the ground behind them.

Bengang also suffered a lot of casualties here, and the soldiers arranged on the opposite tower were all sharpshooters among the clans attacking Bengang now, and the distance of more than ten zhang was equivalent to face to face for them.

The soldiers on the city wall want to shoot the natives below, and they always have to show their heads, although they are more careful, but under the attention of the natives on the opposite side, there are many dead and wounded in a few rounds.

"Tiger Squat Cannon Ready!!"

As an alternative to the firearms of this era, the Tiger Squat Cannon has never been famous for its attack distance and destructive power, but for its area attack to occupy a place.

At this time, the battlefield happened to be the best place for the tiger squat cannon to exert its power: the natives below did not have an inch of armor on their bodies, at most they only had a wooden shield in their hands and one or two pieces of leather armor with low defense.

In the past few years, the most harvested firearms are the tiger squat cannon, three-eyed guns and other firearms with rough workmanship and less than ideal damage, except for a few on the warship for hand-to-hand combat, most of the rest are either melted and recovered by the blacksmith workshop, or left in the Bengang base camp as a defensive offensive. Now on the four city walls in the inner city of Bengang, there are more than ten tiger squatting cannons to place each stomping.

With a roar, with the shouts of the starter, he condescendingly poured thousands of rounds of iron bullets, stone bullets, and iron nails into the natives rushing below.

Suddenly, on the ground only a few zhang away from the city wall, a clearing several feet wide and several zhang long was blasted out by more than a dozen tiger squatting cannons. Everywhere was the wailing of wounded indigenous warriors, and there were more than a dozen bullets that hit none of the natives, the lucky ones, or the unfortunate.

And the first batch of natives who climbed up the long ladder had already emerged on the city wall at this time!!
