Chapter 919 Cannon Battle
Hundreds of boulders rose into the air, whistling across the sky, the momentum was terrifying, and the sky was dark.
A running Ming army general, seeing the shadows on the ground moving rapidly, raised his head, his pupils dilated, and a whistling boulder imprinted into his eyes, from a small black dot, quickly became larger, occupying his entire eyes in an instant.
A soldier next to him took a knife and hurried away, and suddenly only felt a strong wind blowing, his cheeks were hot, and the body of the general next to him was smashed backwards by a boulder, and the stone took his corpse, dragging seven or eight steps, hitting several people in succession, and then running over the corpse, sliding a few steps on the ground, leaving a deep groove, before suddenly stopping.
The soldier watched the reddened stone slide out of a line of blood, looked at the smashed flesh and blood blurred body, touched his somewhat warm face with his hand, and put it in front of his eyes, it was the blood that shocked him.
Hundreds of artillery stones, like meteorites falling from the sky, fell rapidly in the dense attack formation of the Ming army, and in an instant, the mud splashed, rolling out lines of blood.
In order to strengthen the attack ability of the artillery, the Jin army processed the stones and polished them into a round shape as much as possible, so that they would not fall down and drill directly into the soil, but could roll and continue to hit by inertia, killing and injuring a large number of Ming troops.
The artillery was like a meteorite rain, continuously smashed over, the shield car in front was hit, the broken wood splashed, instantly scattered into wood chips, many ladders, and the siege tower was also smashed and paralyzed on the way to attack.
Huang Tianlei was behind a shield cart, directing the soldiers to advance, suddenly there was an exclamation all around, several personal soldiers tore him away, the soldiers behind the shield cart instantly scattered, he only heard a loud noise, and saw the shield cart in front of him cracked, and a boulder rushed out of the broken sawdust, smashed on the ground and then bounced up, and the soil splashed.
Several soldiers behind the shield cart could not dodge, and the flying sawdust stuck into their bodies, and they immediately screamed miserably.
Huang Tianlei saw a personal soldier being stuck in the eye with sawdust, covering it with one hand, blood gushing out from between his fingers, and his face was all over the place, and he looked at the big pit caused by the boulder, and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and then roared hideously: "Don't panic, keep in formation, and continue to charge!" ”
To say that the casualties caused by artillery are actually not as good as those who died in the hands of bows and arrows and firecrackers after the close pass, but the psychological blow of artillery to the soldiers is much greater than that of bows and arrows and firecrackers, which makes the soldiers more afraid.
Who is not afraid of falling rocks from the sky? The bow and arrow shot more or less a whole corpse, but when it was crushed by the artillery, it became a mass of flesh, and anyone who looked at it would be frightened, even if it was a veteran of the battle, it would leave a psychological shadow.
Huang Tianlei roared, and the scattered soldiers gathered together again and moved forward, they dodged the blow of the artillery, but could they avoid the next attack, could they still be so lucky?
Falling rocks overhead, strong wind howling, there are constantly advancing comrades disappearing beside him, the heart of the Ming soldiers can no longer be described as stimulus, many people feel fear, but fear can also stimulate people's potential, the frightened soldiers roared, howled in oblivion, ran, and charged towards the wall.
The soldiers crossed the antlers and horse stakes around them, and quickly approached the wall, and first the vine raised a cloud of white smoke, and the cannon poured out a piece of iron sand, which will rush to the front of the soldiers, and hit the face full of pits, wailing and falling to the ground, and then the back row of guns sounded, and the guns paved the surface, and at the same time, the archers behind the wall also began to exert their might, and countless arrows rose into the air like flying locusts, and shot the Ming army close to the wall.
The status of the Han army in the Jin army is relatively high, and the Han nation is good at defending the characteristics, which are basically inherited by the Jin army, especially Wu Sangui was born in Jiliao, and when fighting with the Eight Banners, he mainly relied on the city to defend, so the Jin army of Fotuguan was very disciplined in defense.
Hu Guozhu hid behind the women's wall, and when he saw the Ming army surging like a tide, in the defenders' cannons, guns, and arrows, he was constantly spreading in the big net woven by the rain of arrows, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The Ming army was preparing to attack in a few days, and Hu Guozhu originally thought that they would play some new tricks, but he didn't expect it to be the old tactics, and his pressure suddenly relaxed.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, at this time, the artillery trucks of the Ming army should have already begun to bombard the wall, otherwise when the Ming army approached, the Ming army's stone throwers were afraid of accidentally injuring the Ming army, so it would be difficult to attack.
Now the Ming army has approached the city a hundred paces, but the gate has not been hit by artillery, Hu Guozhu's eyes can't help but look behind the Ming army, only to see that the Ming army artillery group that should have stopped to set up the stone thrower, since it followed the attack of the infantry formation, through the Jin army's artillery attack area, and then approached the pass.
Hu Guozhu was shocked for a while, "The Ming army wants to put the artillery under the pass, quickly order the artillery to attack, don't let them get close to the cannon!" ”
Although Qian Zong didn't quite understand what he meant and the intentions of the Ming army, he immediately took the order, ran to the wall and shouted to the artillery group under the city, and ordered to close the banner that indicated the direction to the artillery group, mainly to hit the artillery group of the Ming army.
When Wang Deren attacked before, the artillery group of the Ming army was basically arranged outside the range of the artillery group of the Jin army, and it was built by piling up earth platforms and increasing the range on it to bombard the wall, so as to avoid the artillery of the Jin army from causing a lot of damage to the artillery of the Ming army.
In fact, this is also a scoundrel's method, because the Jin army artillery is hiding behind the wall, and it is difficult for the Ming army artillery to attack the Jin army's artillery vehicle, and it must be at a disadvantage in the artillery battle, so Wang Deren arranged it in order to avoid the artillery being destroyed by the Jin army, but in this way, the Ming army's artillery truck will have a very limited impact on the Jin army.
Under the wall, the Jin army artillery group asked for the order, and immediately began to adjust the range, no longer bombarding the tail of the infantry formation, but aimed at the moving Ming army artillery group.
In the middle of the Ming army, He Tengjiao saw that the Ming army's infantry formation was under the attack of the Jin army, with heavy casualties, and the artillery trucks behind were under the attack of the artillery, one after another, and seven or eight were smashed in a moment, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Qin Liangyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, faced the losses of the Ming army, but her face was very calm, unlike an old woman in her last years, she saw He Tengjiao standing restlessly, and said: "Wu Sangui has ten thousand five people, you can divide the city into three teams, take turns to guard the officers, the reserve team is very sufficient, and you can support the city wall at any time, so it is difficult for us to break through." Therefore, only by leaning the artillery truck up, bombarding the wall, interfering with his reserve team to support the pass, and hanging the attackers behind the wall, can we break the pass! ”
He Tengjiao listened to Qin Liangyu's words, and his heart was a little calm, but he still frowned and said: "What the old lady said is reasonable, but is it too big a casualty like this." ”
Qin Liangyu saw his son's blood letter, "My son swears to live and die with Xiangyang, I hope that adults don't think about the safety of their son!" Although her tears were raining down and her heart was like a knife, she still wrote on the letterhead: "Good! Good! Mawu'er! "The Great Hero.
She listened to He Tengjiao's words, but said in a deep voice: "Losses are inevitable, if you don't make a move, it will be another battle." ”
