Bang bang, the Yuan army's trebuchets were still bombarding.
This was not a particularly clever tactic. It was just a few trebuchets placed in front of the position, aiming at the first line of defense of the Ming army and firing violently, and only aimed at this one point.
The overwhelming ice made it impossible to hide, but no one dared to order a retreat. Because once the Ming army on the first line of defense retreated, the Yuan army down the slope would step on the trebuchet drop point and climb up.
boom!
boom!
Finally, the Ming army's artillery found its target. After adjusting the muzzle with difficulty, a shell directly broke one of the opponent's trebuchets in half.
"Good fight!" Li Jinglong shouted excitedly, "Come again, aim at them and hit them hard!"
Before he finished speaking, the roar of trebuchets and artillery sounded again on the battlefield.
It stands to reason that the artillery should be more powerful and have a longer range, but the Ming army's artillery was set up at a high place, making it difficult to adjust the muzzle at will. Moreover, if you don't fire in salvo, you need to adjust the gun position every time you fire, which is a bit troublesome.
.
As long as the Yuan army's trebuchets are fixed there and continuously supplied with ice bombs, they can carry out a covering attack on the Ming army's positions.
Just as the Yuan army continued to attack the front of the Ming army's position, another large group of Yuan soldiers came down the slope with shields.
~~
The roar from the front of the position spread to the rear, and every explosion and tremor also made the soldiers in the rear a little nervous.
Li Dawang and Li Xiaowai were leaning against the parapet to take shelter from the wind. Occasionally, a few broken ice bullets would fly towards them, making a loud banging sound.
They are the second-line troops and have the responsibility to help defend the flanks. And if the first-line troops cannot handle it, they have to step up.
Gulu gulu!
Suddenly, in such a tense atmosphere, several strange sounds came out.
The soldiers around looked at him in surprise. Li Dawang lowered his head shyly and smiled awkwardly. The sound came from his stomach. He was hungry.
It's not that there's no food in the camp, it's that there isn't much firewood for cooking.
We can only try our best to let everyone eat a hot mouthful, and it is impossible to eat with an open belly. Therefore, not only is he hungry, but after a moment of his belly growling, the surroundings are filled with the sound of gurgling.
This sound also made the tense atmosphere fade a lot.
The leader of the team, Qian Hu, was a well-educated man. Hearing the growling of the brothers' stomachs, he shook his head and said, "Zhuang Zhi is hungry and eats Hungarian meat. He laughs and talks about drinking Hun blood when he is thirsty!"
Beside, an old soldier asked, "What do you mean?"
Qianhu rolled his eyes at him, "You don't understand even if I tell you!"
"Then you still sing a ball!" the veteran cursed, bowed his head and shrank to the side.
Qianhu looked at the veteran with hatred and suppressed his anger.
He is a Qianhu who graduated from martial arts and served in the army. Officers like him are naturally very popular with Shangguan. He is literate and sensible. However, in the eyes of the soldiers, such an officer is somewhat out of touch with them, but it is okay.
It's a matter of merit, so it's just a matter of respect.
"Hungry.........?" Li Xiaowai whispered in Dawang's ear, then looked left and right, secretly took out a large piece from his arms, and returned it
The pancake, which was not frozen hard and still seemed to be carrying his body temperature, was delivered to him.
"Pancakes?" Li Dawang looked at the greasy pancake in his hand and swallowed.
This thing is a good thing in the military now.
"Eat.........Eat!" Li Xiao tilted his head and muttered for a long time, "It's not enough...there's still...more!"
"
How can there be absolute fairness in the world? There is no real fairness! People, from birth to death, are fucking divided into three or nine grades.
Ordinary soldiers would not be satisfied even if they wanted to eat a hot meal all day long, but the servants of the Li family still had pancakes to eat!
Moreover, this pancake looked like it was baked with meat oil, and there were granular oil residues on the pancake.
Li Dawang swallowed again, and tore half of it open with dirty hands. Then he bumped his companion with his shoulder, and handed the pancake over to the surprised and surprised look in his eyes.
"Brother, that's all, one bite per person!" Li Dawang said, taking a satisfied bite of the cake in his hand.
The veteran who received the cake smiled, took a bite, and then passed it on to the others. Everyone only took a small bite and tasted the taste.
"You..." Seeing this, Li Xiaowai became anxious, "Here you..."
"Eat the cake!" Li Dawang smiled and stuffed the remaining piece of cake into the other person's mouth. Then, he patted the other person on the shoulder, "We are all brothers, how can we eat alone!" As he said, he also licked the other person's mouth.
Lick your own fingers.
It seemed that he was choking on the piece of cake. Li Dawang swallowed hard, then stood up, took a handful of snow from the side and stuffed it into his mouth.
The coldness of the ice and snow made him shiver all over. He wanted to retreat back to take shelter from the wind, but his eyes fixed on the foot of the mountain on his side for a second.
On the slopes covered with ice, several figures were crawling quickly. Their hands and feet seemed to have iron nails that could be hooked on the ice, making a crunching sound as they climbed.
Whoosh!
There was a faint sound of breaking through the air. Several black iron hooks were thrown directly from the waists of those people on the slope and hung on the parapet of the Ming army's position. Then, long ropes were pulled from those people's waists.
It went smoothly around the waist.
Such a sound was almost insignificant on a battlefield full of explosions and shouts of death. Moreover, in the flanking positions here, all attention was on the front, and no one expected that the Tatars would actually come around here.
Gulu, Li Dawang swallowed his saliva and quietly retracted his head.
Then he pushed away the planer beside him, slowly came to Qianhu's side, and whispered, "Boss, the Tatars are coming up. They just hung a hook on the wall, and they have to climb up along the rope!"
"Really? You didn't fucking tell me earlier!" Qianhu suddenly changed his color and drew the knife directly, "Brother..."
Before Qianhu finished speaking, the shrinking veteran next to him held down Qianhu's hand, stared at Dawang and asked, "How many people are there?"
"There are not many people, I estimate there are hundreds of people standing in the sky!" Dawang said thoughtfully, "But the armor on these Tatars is better than anyone else's."
"The old Tatar method is to attack from the front and side!" The veteran smiled and looked at Qianhu, "Sir, since they came secretly, we also attack secretly and give them a hard blow!"
~~~
Click, click! Squeak, squeak!
A series of black ropes were nailed to the slope. The front end was an iron hook fixed at the top of the slope. After being fixed, the Yuan army below quickly straightened the ropes.
Immediately afterwards, the elite elites of the Yuan army, who were not afraid of death, held scimitars in their mouths, wore spiked shoes, pulled the rope with both hands, and climbed up one after another.
Gradually, they were getting closer and closer to the Ming army's position.
Looking at the climbing Yuan army getting closer and closer on the slope, Qianhu of the Ming army was so nervous that their hands were sweating.
At this time, all the shortcomings of those who graduated from martial arts, had no experience in wars, lacked experience, and were just talking about war on paper were exposed. Moreover, they also committed the most taboo thing, panic!
Qianhu's Adam's apple couldn't help but hesitating, and his mind kept thinking about how to deal with it.
Do you want to send someone to notify the superior?
Do you need to find reinforcements?
He was thinking in a panic, but he saw the veteran soldiers on the side with evil smiles on their faces, happily looking at the Yuan soldiers climbing up.
"How to do it?" Qianhu asked in a low voice.
The veteran looked at him, "What should I do?"
Qian Hu Yi Zhi said, "Didn't you say you should give them a hard blow?"
"Ah!" The veteran nodded, "Isn't it time yet?"
"Almost climbing up?" Qianhu suppressed his anger.
The veteran smiled slightly and said, "How anxious are you?"
"You!" Qianhu was furious, "I am you Qianhu!"
"Ang!" The veteran rolled his eyes, ignored Qianhu, and continued to stare at the Yuan army that was almost climbing up.
Suddenly, Qianhu was almost furious. But the war was about to begin, and he really couldn't offend these army thugs.
"Get ready!" Suddenly, the veteran whispered.
Then, he looked down, waved his hands quickly, and whispered, "Down!"
Several soldiers with the same seniority as him nearby quickly picked up a few wooden barrels, then quietly opened the stoppers, raised them above their heads, and followed the enemy's ropes, allowing the liquid in the barrels to flow down the ropes.
"Huh?" Qianhu's eyes were fixed and his nose moved, "Kerosene?"
Those climbing Yuan soldiers suddenly felt uncomfortable with wet palms. They looked up sharply and saw above their heads, from the gaps in the Ming army's parapet, black liquid was flowing rapidly down the ropes. In an instant, their
His hands, armor, and ropes were all covered in this sticky stuff.
Moreover, these liquids, along the ropes, almost covered all the Yuan troops who climbed.
"This is?" Yuan Jun at the front was slightly confused and smelled the liquid, which had a pungent smell.
Suddenly, he looked horrified and shouted loudly, "Fierce oil!"
The next second, before he could successfully call the police, several torches fell down on his head.
call!
The wind blew, and the ropes hanging all over the Yuan army suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Moreover, the sea of fire quickly turned into fire dragons along the rope, devouring the Yuan army on the rope.
Caught off guard, many Yuan soldiers gave up and rolled down the slope. The people at the bottom had just rolled down the flames on their bodies on the snow. When the people above them rolled down, their companions carrying the flames fell on them again.
"Roll the bucket down!"
Behind the parapet, Ming army veterans shouted.
Several oil barrels filled with kerosene, with their lids opened, rolled down the slope and crashed into the crowd of enemy soldiers rolling on the ground.
Buzz!
The veteran of the Ming Army leaned out half of his body and shot several flaming arrows in the blink of an eye.
boom!
The wind blew, the waves swept across, and everyone around was swallowed up by the sudden flames.
The Yuan army was wailing and tumbling on the ground, and their companions kept beating them with blankets and covering them with ice and snow, but to no avail.
They are covered with fierce fire oil, and the best way is to cover it with sand and soil to extinguish it. And they are covered with ice and snow. Once the ice and snow encounter flames and melt, the flames will fly around and can start a prairie fire.
The air carries the smell of burnt human flesh.
Thousands of households of the Ming army looked at the Yuan army struggling and tumbling in the sea of fire down the slope, dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he looked at the blazing rope hanging on the slope and shouted loudly, "Quick, cut the rope, or the ice will melt!"
He clearly saw that in the light of the fire, the ice on several slopes began to melt.
"It can't be melted!" the veteran said with a bit of ridicule, "My Lord Qianhu, the fire stopped for a moment, and the burned area froze, and it became even more slippery!"
"Besides, it won't burn. How much water did we pour to water the ice wall? At least it's thick at first, so it won't burn easily!" Another veteran also said with a smile.
Then, these army thorns lay on their chests and looked happily at the sea of fire below.
"Hey, it's getting cold, let me add some fire to you!"
"Tatar, are you warm?"
"Did you bring the mutton? Grill it!"
While watching, they were talking sarcastically, as if they were watching a show.
