War!

The harsh climate has brought the war back to the most primitive cold weapon fighting.

Mo Xiaobai did not arrange for his troops and horses to attack the fortified cities of Pyongyang on all sides, but placed all the heavy troops outside the ordinary and seven-star two gates on the west side.

The huge Pyongyang, except for the back close to the peony peak, has double doors on each of the other three sides.

The distance between the two gates on the west side is not less than 100 zhang, although it is not as good as the big cities established by the Chinese dynasties since ancient times, but in the small territory of Korea, it is already a huge building.

In the west alone, if you want to launch an all-out attack, you have to go into battle with four or five thousand soldiers and horses.

"Yuan Rong ballista, put it!"

Similar to the past, although Mo Xiaobai was in charge of the Chinese army, he did not interfere in the front-line command, and Li Ji still gave orders.

With a deterrent weapon in hand, Li Ji of course pushed up the twenty Yuanrong ballistas first.

Between the heavy snow, the Yuanrong ballista cars lined up in a zigzag formation, and with Li Ji's order, sharp arrows rushed into the air.

The sound of breaking the air instantly covered up the howling wind and snow, and in less than half a second, several Japanese soldiers and a general standing at the head of the city were nailed to the wall.

The tip of the arrow sank into the stone wall an inch deep, and it was not until the back of the arrow hit the wall that he saw that his chest had been pierced by an iron arrow as thick as a fist.

"What is this? So terrifying? ”

Governor Konishi was also at the head of the city at the moment, but he was not standing so far forward, so he did not become the target of the Yuan Rong crossbow.

But he stood at the back, almost witnessing this scene with his own eyes.

It's just a blink of an eye, and it's at least half a mile away, and it's still snowing.

What kind of sharp weapon did the Ming army use to achieve this step?

Although it is not as powerful as heavy artillery, it is not far behind in lethality. What's more, the attack distance is farther than the gun, and it is not affected by the cold winter climate.

Konishi Yukicho's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to step forward easily. If you step forward and are targeted by that sharp arrow, you can't dodge.

Governor Konishi was already frightened in his heart, and Iron Shatter Fang and the others were equally dumbfounded.

Crossbows, they know.

But what crossbow can be so strong?

Before they could think about it, the second round of shooting followed.

The Yuanrong crossbow resounded in the Chinese weapons world with the reputation of 'Zhuge Repeater', and once it began to attack, it was by no means finished after shooting once.

Shoot!

Shoot!

Shoot!

Although it is impossible for the Yuanrong crossbow to shoot and kill the Japanese soldiers in a large area, from the fact that the Japanese soldiers no longer dare to easily stand in the target range of the Yuanrong crossbow, it can be seen that the first step of deterrence has been achieved.

After the shock, it was naturally the heavy infantry who stepped forward with a combined ladder vehicle.

Siege warfare, start here!

Compared with the ladder, the combined ladder car is no longer a simple long ladder weapon, but a large siege machine with a wide chassis and a height of two feet.

Even if Mo Xiaobai had been preparing for more than two months in Zhenjiang Fort, he had not been able to make a few fights.

Counting the two stocks in Zhenjiang Fort, there are only 8 in total.

However, although there are only 8 ladder trucks, each of them can allow 6 to 8 soldiers to run in parallel, and its effect is far better than 100 ordinary ladders.

The heavy halberds are in the front, the infantry soldiers of the provinces are behind, and the generals of the Mengke Alliance are mixed with the generals of the provinces, and for every 500 soldiers, a general will follow.

Li Guang and Xue Wanche were at the forefront.

Behind the many foot soldiers was the well-equipped Light Horse of Dream Town. What they had to do was very simple, that is, they rode their horses and stretched their bows, and used mounted archery to cover the siege infantry with long-range fire.

"Shoot!"

The cavalry galloped, and the leading general, Jin Qiang, roared in a low voice, and thousands of sharp arrows flew up to the city.

In this era, because of the admiration of iron artillery offensives, many ancient tactics and types of troops have been abolished, such as archers and shield hands are almost zero.

Without shield protection, they could only hide with their backs against the city wall, but there were not many who could find suitable cover in the first place, and more Japanese soldiers just took a few steps back in a panic, still within the range of bows and arrows.

"Whoosh"

The fighting method of light cavalry and cavalry archery has long been inherited in China, thousands of flying arrows fell on the wall, nearly thirty percent of the arrows hit the Japanese soldiers, and the originally crowded city immediately vacated an area.

In the face of Huaxia's light cavalry, Konishi Yuki's face was even more ugly.

Among the 100,000 expeditionary forces, the only cavalry that was truly formed was the cavalry battalion of the Second Army, and the number of cavalry was only 6,000.

As for his First Army, there were a lot of iron cannons, but no cavalry. Not even cavalry, not even war horses.

However, for Governor Konishi, the bad thing is far from over, Daming's ladder car has been pushed against the city wall by taking advantage of this gap, and the heavily armored soldiers rushed to the forefront in three or two steps with heavy halberds, and they can jump into the city.

In the snowstorm season, although Mo Xiaobai couldn't use the Tiger Squat Cannon and Franc Machine Cannon, the Japanese people also couldn't take out their iron cannon muskets.

There were no muskets to stop the enemy, and the Japanese soldiers struggled to lift the rolling stones only to find that after the Ming soldiers stepped on the highest point of the ladder car, they were higher than the stone wall in front of them.

Can't smash it!

At this moment, they can only throw the stone down, and if they can hit a soldier on the ground, they can earn one. As for those who boarded the ladder car, they had no choice but to wait for the heavy halberd to jump off on his own.

However, before the heavy halberd jumped down, Li Guang and Xue Wanche had already taken the lead in landing on the city, waving their war knives in their hands, and none of the more than ten people in front of them could survive three or five breaths.

When the two strong generals of Dameng Town stood firm at the head of the city, the first team of heavy halberds also jumped smoothly, and the three of them formed a formation to raise their knives and slash, and the spears and short knives in the hands of the Japanese were also no threat.

"According to this style of play, you can win Simon today?" All the dreamers were watching the battle from the rear at the moment, and the fat man's eyes flickered and he spoke.

Heavy armor with a variety of siege methods, it was a nightmare for the light infantry defending the city. Thinking about the first battle in the Western Regions, if the Guishan army was equipped with a few such ladder vehicles, the consequences were really unimaginable.

"It won't go that well."

A ray of morning light was staring at the head of the city, and he said in a low voice: "Although the current situation is superior, it is a joint reaction of the Japanese soldiers after repeated setbacks. Now that both sides are fighting at the head of the city, some deterrent weapons can no longer be used, and the city will be densely packed with soldiers, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold. ”

"yes, it's not very rosy."

Mo Xiaobai bowed slightly, but in the next second, he changed his voice: "But if the Japanese want to rely on crowd tactics to fight me, then he has picked the wrong target." ”

"Huh?" A ray of morning light turned its head when he heard this.

"Do you know what I have under my command the most?"

Mo Xiaobai grinned, and said with a little pride: "I am the general of Dameng Town, which can be said to be the best in the plane, and there are nearly ten of them if you count them one by one. And at this moment, Da Ming is not short of elite soldiers. ”

"The reason why I chose to attack the city at the time of the blizzard is that the elite soldiers in front of me are my reliance, they are much better than the Japanese people."
