Chapter 1164 Echo like thunder
The siege vehicle was erected, and the defenders at the head of the city were immediately dumbfounded, what kind of big thing is this? What exactly is it for?
The soldiers of the Providence Army carried out their work in an orderly manner, climbing up and down, transporting grenades...... Each pillar is supported by two soldiers to prevent shaking during strenuous exercise and affecting the soldiers on the slab.
In less than a stick of incense, the auxiliary work before the battle has been completed.
At the top of each siege vehicle, there are two tall and strong soldiers, dozens of grenades are stacked on the slab, and there are more grenades on the ground, and the soldiers under the siege vehicle can talk about these grenades on the slab at any time.
Du Cheng glanced at the city, and in his sight, not a single defender could be seen, he knew that the defenders must be hiding behind the city wall, his face was pale, and he shouted loudly: "Prepare to drop bombs!"
The soldiers standing on the top tablet, each wielding two grenades, pulled out the lead wires, and put their left hand on the handrail.
The grenade began to smoke, at first a faint wisp of light smoke, and the light smoke became thicker and thicker, and when the smoke began to turn black, the soldiers' legs were slightly bent, and their right hands made a half circle at their sides, and their bodies slammed upward.
The grenade came out of his hand and flew towards the city, followed by an explosion of "bang, bang".
After the sound, there was chaos in the city, with cries and screams, and there were obviously many casualties among the defenders.
The 20 grenades thrown in the first wave all fell on the head of the city, and the bullet points were different from each other, some exploded close to the city wall, and some slid down the city before they exploded, and the most of them exploded on the head of the city.
After the soldiers threw the grenades, they had no time to care about the effect of the explosion, grabbed the two grenades again, and began the next wave of bombing.
After each soldier revealed more than a dozen grenades, the cries on the head of the city gradually sank, and listening to the sound, the wounded soldiers not only did not increase, but decreased.
Du Cheng's eyebrows stretched, he made a move back, and shouted softly: "Stop dropping bombs, cloud ladder group, start attacking the city!"
"Boom la la ......"
Hundreds of soldiers, taking advantage of the lack of movement at the head of the city, carried the ladder and quickly approached the city wall.
The sound of heavy footsteps once again alarmed the city, and the observers knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly reported the Baiyin map.
Bai Yintu was stunned for a moment, knowing that the time for the decisive battle had come.
All the offensive in front of them is foreshadowing, the purpose is to kill and damage the defenders on the city, weaken the defensive force, and even intimidate the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, and now is the real siege!
The firearms of the Mandate of Heaven Army are too sharp, and they emerge in an endless stream, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty have suffered too many casualties, and the cavalry is guarding the city and using it as infantry, which is too aggrieved, if there is a choice, Baiyin Tuning Yuan chooses to go out of the city to fight, on the battlefield, with bows and arrows, with scimitars, and the Mandate of Heaven Army have a fair decisive battle, even if they die on the battlefield, they have no complaints.
However, the Mandate of Heaven Army did not give the Qing warriors a chance to fight a decisive battle, relying on the advantage of firearms in range, the warriors of the Great Qing Dynasty could only be beaten in vain!
The opportunity has finally come, no matter how powerful the firearms of the Mandate of Heaven are, but the soldiers have no wings after all, if they want to attack the city, they only need to climb up the ladder, and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty have finally waited for the opportunity to fight back.
Bai Yintu pulled out his scimitar, pointed to the sky from afar, and shouted in the loudest voice: "Warriors, the Mandate of Heaven is about to attack the city, use the bows and arrows in your hands to shoot the Han dog into a hedgehog, use the scimitar in your hand to cut off the head of the Han dog, and use the corpse of the Han dog to feed the evil wolves on the grassland...... Kill!"
"Kill, kill the man and the dog......"
Bai Yintu raised his legs and ran, rushing to the front of the line, and the guards, worried about the firearms of the Mandate of Heaven, followed him closely, and thousands of Manchu soldiers rushed to the city with a "roar".
The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven had already climbed the ladder, but when they climbed, they could not aim and shoot with both hands, so they hung their rifles on their backs and pulled out their waist knives.
When Baiyintu rushed back to the city with the defenders, the soldiers at the front of the Mandate of Heaven had just climbed to the middle of the ladder, and they were still some distance from the city wall.
Without saying a word, the Qing soldiers took off the bows and arrows on their shoulders and released arrows towards the city.
With a scimitar in hand, the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven could not hit the enemy on the city at all, so they could only desperately use their waist knives to block their bows and arrows.
Basically, it was in vain, the speed of the Qing soldiers' bows and arrows was too fast, and they were shot from top to bottom, and the waist knife basically did not work, and in the sound of "whoosh", the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army fell down the ladder one by one, and the city was in mourning......
Du Cheng was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Point shot, pick up the soldiers who are besieging the city!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The guns rang out, and the Qing soldiers wanted to release arrows to the city, and their heads and bodies had to poke out of the battlements, which happened to be the targets of the gunners, and after a dense and chaotic burst of gunfire, the battlements of the city wall were empty again.
The Qing soldiers learned to be obedient, they didn't need to be instructed by Bai Yintu, they all hid behind the city wall, the bullets of the Mandate of Heaven Army would not turn, and it was safe behind the city wall.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the wounded soldier was carried back and bandaged at a safe distance of 100 paces, and the body was also carried back and temporarily stopped with the wounded soldier for examination.
Du Cheng showed a sneer on his face, "Hurt my soldiers, and still want to run?" He waved his hand to the soldiers in the siege vehicle and shouted: "Drop the bomb, destroy the Tartars behind the city walls, and avenge the casualties!"
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Dozens of black-smoked grenades, flying towards the city, exploded behind the city walls, firelight, fragments, shockwaves...... There was a scream behind the walls!
The more concentrated the clear troops, the more efficient the grenades are, and the greater the casualties.
Bai Yintu then remembered that it was not safe behind the city wall, and it was because of these "thunderstorms" that the warriors were forced to withdraw from the city......
What to do?
Hiding behind the city wall can only be sent to death in vain, and if you evacuate the city, the Han dogs will climb up the ladder......
Isn't there a third way?
If this continues, Shengjing City will inevitably be difficult to protect, and the Qing Dynasty will also ......
Bai Yintu shivered, his brain was almost confused, fortunately he was awakened by the explosion of the grenade, but he still couldn't think of a way to defend the city.
At this time, where is the immortal heaven? Where is the Buddha?
Bai Yintu shook his head slightly, perhaps the subjects of the Great Qing Dynasty changed from believing in the Immortal Heaven to taking refuge in the Buddha, which angered both gods......
Whose fault is it?
At this time, I can't take care of much, defending the city is the top priority, but now the city is full of explosions, warriors are constantly suffering casualties, no one will come to help the Qing Dynasty, everything can only rely on yourself!
They were all casualties in vain, and Hangou had no loss at all.
"My lord, what should I do......
Bai Yintu glanced at the wounded soldiers who were crying and shouting at the head of the city, a layer of frost condensed on his face, he wished that the wounded soldiers were himself, if he was injured, he didn't have to make a choice, it was better to be blown up, he was dead, he was dead, he was a hundred, and he didn't have to face this desperate situation again......
He suppressed the urge to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and said in the most gloomy voice: "Evacuate the city!"
Jialazhang Jing Ji Bilong said loudly: "My lord, you can't withdraw, the Han dog is under the city, once the warriors withdraw, wait for the Han dog to attack the city......"
"Withdraw!" Bai Yintu's voice was categorical, "When the Han dog attacks the city, let's come back!"
"Yes!" The herald immediately sent out the order.
"Whoa", the Qing soldiers at the head of the city ran clean all at once, and when Ji Bilong saw that he was the only one left on the city, he sighed, spat hard, and chased the army down the city.
After Baiyintu evacuated the city, he knew that the situation in the southern city was urgent, and he was busy asking for help from Azig, who was in the center.
What happened at the head of the city, the soldiers who threw the bombs could see it clearly, and one of the soldiers gestured to Du Cheng.
Du Cheng's face finally showed a smile, "Continue to drop bombs, suppress the Tartars, and cover up the footsteps under the city!" Then he turned around and said to the soldiers who were waiting to attack the city: "The emperor said, the first to attack the head of Shengjing City, the emperor will reward one hundred taels, plus a young Tartar woman, the general will also offer a reward here, whoever is the first to attack the city, the general will also be rewarded with one hundred taels!"
"One hundred taels, add one hundred taels, that's two hundred taels!"
"Tartar women?"
"I haven't tasted the Tartar woman yet......"
……
A young officer drew his waist knife and shouted: "If you want a Tartar woman, you rush quickly, and if you are late, you will be taken by the first regiment...... Rush ...... me."
"Rush ......"
"Rob the Tartar woman!"
Hundreds of soldiers pulled out their waist knives and rushed to the ladder in front of them one by one, and at such a moment, the soldiers remembered that they should have practiced sprinting more and had a chance to run fast......
The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army, like being beaten with duck blood, these silver taels and Tartar women were originally unattainable, and the most important thing is that they are still the emperor's reward, not to mention that these soldiers are the ministers of the court, and the people who can get the emperor's reward are probably rare......
A hundred paces away, at the feet of the soldiers, that is, in the blink of an eye, by the time the observers at the head of the city reacted, they were already close to the city wall.
Baiyintu learned that the Mandate of Heaven army was attacking the city again, so he had to bring the warriors over.
Manifest Destiny's grenades continued to explode at the head of the city, and to defend the city you had to go over the blast point and face the rifles below...... Bai Yintu sadly found that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty did not seem to be worthy of the title of "warriors......
The situation is extremely critical, but the warriors are grinding!
Bai Yintu was in a hurry, pulled out his scimitar and slashed out in the air, "The Qing Dynasty is now facing life and death, defending the Qing Dynasty is to defend ourselves, once the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, not only will we have no way to live, our women, children, cattle and sheep, and property will be looted by the Han dogs, warriors, do you still remember the tragic situation outside the Ming Jingshi?" If Shengjing City is broken, our parents, children, and women can only be humiliated by the Han dog, crying in despair under the butcher's knife of the Han dog......"
"Defend the Qing Dynasty!" Baiyintu's guards drew their scimitars and were the first to respond.
"Defend the Qing Dynasty and kill the Han dog!" The morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly boosted, and they ran towards the city one by one.
The soldiers on the siege vehicle sent the message to Du Cheng in time, and Du Cheng shouted in a cold voice: "Gunners prepare to protect the soldiers who are besieging the city!"
"Yes!" The gunners unconsciously raised their voices, and the response was like thunder!
