Chapter 800: Crumbling
Before the smoke and dust of the explosion dissipated, the first wave of soldiers of the Wei army had already rushed to the front of the Qing army's defense line, and the first row of soldiers lit the earth-shattering thunder and threw it on the wall, and the soil from the explosion splashed into the air, and then fell with a clatter, hitting the iron helmets and shields of the Wei army.
The Wei soldiers rushed to the earth wall, the Wei soldiers put on the ladder and began to climb the earth wall, the Qing general of the city reacted, roared loudly, commanded the soldiers to counterattack, the sporadic arrows on the wall were shot, the earth-shaking thunder was thrown into the crowd, and the arrows fell and were overturned by the air waves.
This time, instead of attacking a little, the Wei army launched a fierce attack on a mile-long front.
In the tug-of-war, the Wei army will lose the opportunity to occupy Hedong, and there is no next attack, this time it is a hammer deal, and Azig must be stoned to death.
In the rumbling war drums, the first batch of nearly 10,000 Wei troops jumped up from the trench, or continued to advance along the deep trench, and the projectiles fired by the Wei army's stone throwers and mortar cannons flew over the heads of the Wei soldiers, smashed into the rear of the Qing army's front, raised smoke and dust, and burst into a cloud of red light, and the war scene was grand and spectacular.
Gao Yihuan struggled to beat the war drums, the Chinese army nearly 100 war drums, following his rhythm, the sound of "dong dong dong", the drum sound was shocking, urging people to forge ahead, Gao Yihuan was also enthusiastic and excited.
The Wei soldiers let out a tsunami-like shout, and their voices rose to the sky, and the high morale made the defending Qing army chill.
Pushing themselves and others, they thought that in the positional battle that lasted for nearly a month, the Wei army also paid a lot of casualties, and now they couldn't stand it when they were defending, but they didn't expect the Wei army to be so jubilant.
On the mile-long front, the Wei soldiers clinged to the wall like ants, and the elite armor soldiers rushed up the smoke-filled earthen wall, slashing and slashing the demoralized Qing army.
The Wei army relied on the suppression of the artillery bombardment, and as before, the soldiers quickly stared at the earthen wall, and fought with the Qing army in close combat.
On the earthen wall, Wei soldiers can be seen everywhere stabbing into the destruction of the Qing army, carrying the corpse and throwing it off the earthen wall.
The Qing soldiers waved their swords to resist, and the spears carried the earth-shaking thunder, sticking out of the wall, and the sound of the earth-shaking thunder "boom" exploded above the head of the Wei army, even if the Wei army was well-equipped, it was also stunned, and many soldiers were bleeding and fell to the ground wailing.
The Wei army medics shuttled under the earthen wall, snatched back a wounded soldier, and sent him to the rear.
At this time, several slopes to climb the wall have once again become the key points of contention, the Eight Banners behind the city wall are carrying swords and shouting loudly, forcing the green battalion and Baoyi to rush up the earthen wall and fight with the Wei army, in the anti-artillery tunnel behind the earthen wall, the Mongolian archers opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the Wei army on the shooting wall, and the Wei army was constantly wounded by bows and arrows.
Behind the defensive line, the Qing army's stone throwers began to creak and bounce, throwing out boulders and a few earth-shattering thunderbolts.
The stones smashed into the swarming Wei army, knocking several people away in a row, leaving a deep red groove in the snow, and the stumps in one place were shattered, which was shocking, and in the red light of the earth-shaking thunderstorm, soldiers were thrown away from time to time.
Ye Chen roared loudly with a war knife, urging the people to quickly pull the stone thrower, carrying the stones, and the throwing rods of seventy or eighty stone throwing machines bounced up and fell again like a machine, and one by one the artillery stones, with the bounce of the throwing rod, took off into the air.
For a while, the sky was like rain of artillery, and the earth wall shouted to kill the sky, and the battle was extremely fierce at the beginning.
After the Qing army's formation, Azig looked at the front line with a gloomy face, the Qing army's defensive ideas did not change, or drove the green battalion and Baoyi to the wall to fight with the Wei army, pinned down the Wei army on the wall, and let the Mongolian archers behind the wall shoot the Wei army fighting on the wall with superb bowing skills, and then used a stone thrower to suppress the Wei army that continued to climb the wall, so that the Wei army was consumed on the earthen wall.
In this way, the Qing army lost the green battalion and the coat on the wall, while the Wei army suffered all the elite casualties. As long as the Qing army guards the earthen wall, it can exchange the lives of the elite soldiers of the Wei army with green camps and clothing, and even the people's strong.
Gao Yihuan was watching the battlefield while beating the war drums, he suddenly remembered the picture of Zhang Fei beating the drum and Guan Yu beheading Huaxiong, his head was hot, so he took off his armor and beat the war drums, but as soon as he beat it, he realized that it was not easy, and his arms were sore after a while.
At this time, as time went by, Gao Yihuan began to sweat all over, and he couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, but at this time, the war drums could not be stopped, but they had to beat more urgently.
On the earthen wall, the well-equipped Wei soldiers slashed and killed the green battalion soldiers, those green battalions and Baoyi were not the opponents of the Wei army, and the earthen walls were covered with the corpses of the Qing army.
On the earthen wall, wearing iron armor, arms and legs are chain mail, wearing an iron helmet on his head, Hao Shaoqi with a beast face on his face, wielding a horse chopping knife, invincible, slashing and killing the Qing army on the wall, and driving the Qing soldiers to the wall.
The Mongolian archers under the wall had already seen this general, and several arrows were fired, either blocked by him, or stuck in the armor, and did not cause fatal damage, he stabbed the left and the right, and cut down the Qing army one after another, and nearly 100 Qing troops were killed in a short time.
Seeing this, a member of the Han army, La'e, summoned a gunner, pointed at him and shouted, "Shoot him!" ”
With a sound of "bang", the projectile jumped and flew out of the barrel, shooting a Qing soldier next to Hao Shaoqi.
Although the firearm is powerful and the armor-piercing ability is stronger than that of the bow and arrow, there is no rifling, and the projectile is a ricochet.
Hao Shaoqi was furious when he saw this, he roared angrily, and jumped directly from the earthen wall, and many Wei soldiers saw that the slope of the wall was blocked by the Qing army, and they couldn't kill all the people, so they also jumped off the earthen wall and killed the Mongolian archers in the tunnel.
As long as these archers are eliminated, the Qing army on the wall will not be able to block the attack of the Wei army at all, and the Wei army will be able to break through the defense line quickly.
The Wei army, who jumped off the earthen wall, slashed and killed the Qing army below like a wolf and a tiger.
Seeing this, the Eight Banners soldiers who were supervising the battle behind the wall immediately let out a roar, jumped up from the trench, and attacked to block the Wei army and prevent the Wei army from rushing into the archers.
For a time, the sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, seeing that the battle line was unstable, Azig waved his hand and ordered, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the rear drove a large number of Qing troops forward, and all those who hesitated and backward were cut down.
The Green Battalion is a world soldier system, which means that Lao Tzu is a soldier, and his son is a soldier, and his family members are all organized into military households and are centrally managed by the Qing court.
Among the green battalion soldiers, there are either warlords like Jiang Xiang, who have not been digested by the Qing court and have a strong independence, and their families naturally follow the army, and the Qing court has not carried out reorganization, so the control of the Qing court is very small.
The other part was recruited by the Qing court itself, or the surrendered army that was completely controlled, and their families were organized into military households and controlled by the Manchus, so it was difficult to recruit this kind of green battalion soldiers.
On the earthen wall, under the earthen wall, there were more and more crowds, and the Wei army with saucer helmets and the Qing army wearing hats fought against each other.
At this time, the second wave of the Wei army had already pressed up, and a section of the earthen wall was occupied by the Wei army, and the Wei army's firecrackers immediately fired a volley, and the Mongolian soldiers who shot arrows instantly spewed out pieces of blood mist.
Outside the earthen wall, several Wei soldiers dug a big hole under the earthen wall with shields, then filled it with explosive bags, and then sealed and compacted it with soil.
In the middle of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan's arms were already sore, and when he was about to run out of strength, when he saw this scene, he immediately kicked angrily, and screamed "Wow, yes, yes", and beat the two drumsticks out of the phantom, as if to break the war drums.
On the battlefield, a large number of Wei soldiers poured directly along the trench to the explosion, like a flood breaking through a dam and pouring into the Qing army's defense line.
The Wei army rushed into the tunnel, and the Mongol archers were also involved in the battle group, and a huge gap appeared in the Qing army's defense line.
Ye Chen slashed over a Qing soldier with a hind leg, and met Hao Shaoqi head-on and led his troops to rush through the anti-artillery tunnel and kill the Qing army's stone-throwing machine group.
"Throw thunder!" Hao Shaoqi shouted, and the Wei army in front threw out more than ten thunderbolts for the whole day, and in the red light, the stone thrower was blown up and the wood was splashed, and the Qing army fell to the ground.
On the hillside, Azig's face sank like water, and his mind couldn't help but think of the dream of last night, when he rushed into the Wei army alone and was submerged in the sea of people.
Looking at the gaps in the defensive line everywhere, Azig drew his battle knife, and the thousands of cavalry behind him also clenched their weapons.
At this time, he was about to charge, and he galloped over, knelt on one knee, and gasped: "Wang ~ Wangye, Taiyuan Emergency~"
