Chapter 157: Zunhua City in Danger
In the early morning of the seventh day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the army to Zunhua City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the ugly hour, 300 Bayala soldiers quietly approached Zunhua City at night, intending to climb over the city wall, seize the city gate, and lead the army into the city.
However, this time the Ming army defending the city was on guard, and these Bayala soldiers were soon discovered, and under the dense fire network of bows and arrows and birds, the Bayala soldiers withdrew.
Half an hour later, the Baya soldiers swept in again, this time in addition to the ladder, but also with a large shield, and a posture of not going to the city wall and vowing not to give up. The highly tense Ming army once again fired bows and arrows and birds, and "repulsed" these Bayala soldiers.
After repeating this three or four times, Wang Zaiyu, the deputy general of the Ming army at the head of the city, finally found out that something was wrong and immediately reported to Wang Yuanya, thinking that Jiannu deliberately used Bayala soldiers to consume the precious arrows, gunpowder, and projectiles in Zunhua City.
The arrows and gunpowder in the city itself had been burned out in the last fire, and although it was later helped by the Santun camp, the number was not large. The Ming army defending the city was highly nervous, and when they saw that Jiannu was coming, the archers and firearms soldiers were full of strength and opened fire, and they actually knocked out half of the inventory at once.
All of these Bayara soldiers were equipped with three layers of armor, and they were also equipped with large shields, not to mention bows and arrows, and even firearms did not want to penetrate them. After three or four sieges, only seven or eight corpses remained on the ground, and most of them returned unharmed.
The Houjin Legion besieging the city surrounded Zunhua City, and let out a roar like a landslide and tsunami, sweeping through the night. The Ming troops in the city were all shocked.
Under the bright moon, I saw that the Houjin army was everywhere, their blades flashing with a cold cold light under the moon, and their roars were like the roar of wild beasts, setting off waves of trembling sound.
Fear, tormenting these defenders all the time. In a state of fear, everyone is shot with the instinct to save their lives, and if they find an enemy rushing up, they will shoot arrows and shoots without life.
The Bayala soldiers rushed up again, and this time the king ordered that arrows and guns should not be fired in advance, and that they should not shoot at them until they had climbed the ladder and climbed halfway.
However, he made a fatal mistake by underestimating the combat effectiveness of these Bayala soldiers. In this world, each Baya soldier will be personally inherited by the Dajin master, whether it is light or internal strength has been greatly strengthened, these Baya soldiers can easily cross the city wall of three or five meters, so as long as they climb to the "death zone" of the Zunhua city wall, that is, there is a distance of about five meters from the head of the city, and when they are in the best shooting position of the firearms soldiers, they can jump up.
Khurga stood proudly at the foot of the city, watching the dense crowd of Bayala soldiers climb up the ladder to the top of the city.
This time he sent all 500 of his soldiers.
As he expected, after three or four feints, the Ming army really did not dare to fire arrows and fire at will. In this way, as long as these elites of Dajin ascend to the top of the city, they will be able to win it in one fell swoop!
Under the cover of the Houjin archers, the five hundred Baya soldiers quickly climbed halfway, and Wang Zaiyu smiled coldly, and then ordered to fight back. This time, however, the archers were no longer involved, as the archers had little effect on the heavily armed Bayala soldiers, and the firearms who were involved in the counterattack were the firearms who shot the holes and the firearms who poured hot water, boiling oil, and fire oil on the city.
Although it was night, because the moonlight was better that night and the distance was close, they still maintained a certain level of accuracy, causing a lot of casualties.
Then came the soldiers at the head of the city, first pouring the hot oil and waste water down with a large scoop, and suddenly the ghosts and wolves howled on the ladder. Immediately afterwards, many Ming soldiers began to spray fire oil on the ladder, and the oil soon flowed down the ladder.
The Ming soldiers at the head of the city held torches and lit these ladders one by one, and the ladders suddenly ignited a raging fire.
Wang Zaiyu sneered again, these stupid Jiannu, do you think I will really watch you climb up like this?
The ladder was on fire, and the clothes of many Baya soldiers were burned instantly, screaming and falling down, and many of the ladders were quickly burned off, and the Baya soldiers on the ladder could not escape the doom of falling.
However, what Wang Zaiyu didn't expect was that there were seven or eight Baya soldiers on the cloud ladder who suddenly accelerated their speed of climbing, and rushed up against the bullets of birds, boiling water, and boiling oil!
When they were still four or five meters away from the city, the spearmen of the Ming army at the head of the city immediately gathered in front of these seven or eight cloud ladders, ready to condescendingly stab these fierce and abnormal Houjin soldiers when they approached the city.
Hou Jin's archers, under the cover of several high platforms, rained down arrows on the spearmen who were gathered there in a dense manner, and although these spearmen were covered by shield soldiers, they still suffered many casualties. However, more and more spearmen gathered towards the location of the seven or eight ladders, and there was no doubt that the Ming army would never allow the other side to climb their walls.
Next, something unexpected happened. I saw a Baya soldier take the lead in jumping, and he jumped from a position more than four meters away from the head of the city to the head of the city. At the moment of coming up, he first slashed with a long knife, forced away the nearest few Ming troops, and stood firm.
Then, the second, third, and fourth Bayala soldiers rushed up!
Seven or eight ladders poured up at once, and nearly 20 Baya soldiers rushed up at once! These Baya soldiers were well-trained, and soon gathered together, back to back, in a circle, and mastered a section of the city wall about three meters long!
The two sides soon fought. The defenders at the head of the city of the Ming army were nearly 500 people, but because of the small position on the city wall, a large number of Ming troops were blocked on the passage, and only forty or fifty people could really fight with these Bayala soldiers at the same time. These Baya soldiers were extremely strong, and with the assistance of the archers on the Houjin high platform, the Ming army surrounding them fell wave after wave, but there was nothing they could do.
At this time, on this gap of about three meters, two more ladders were erected, and a steady stream of Bayala soldiers climbed up from these two ladders.
The ancients guarded the city, and the most taboo was to open the gap. And now, the gap has opened.
Seeing the chaos at the head of the city, the Houjin army immediately ordered the army to attack in an all-out way!
Countless Houjin soldiers poured down the city like a tide.
Zunhua City is in danger!
